Sword Saint Lu's words were also very clear. The Sword Saint was unwilling to believe that the King had betrayed the Human Race, but he couldn't ignore this matter either, so he chose to tacitly accept what Sword Sage Lu had done and used his position to help conceal it.
"If the throne were threatened, I believe this Emperor would inevitably show some missteps," Lu Hong said with a smile. "What if your King has no tricks up his sleeve?"
"If that's the case, I would do my utmost to protect Crown Prince Shengde's smooth succession to the throne."
"So you're giving up on the old King, huh," Lu Hong shrugged. "So you asked me here, is there something you want to say?"
"I only hope that you won't interfere with Sword Sage Lu's plans this time," Sword Saint Lu spoke gravely. "I am old and don't have many years left. Crown Prince Shengde, whom we of the older generation have watched grow up, has outstanding character and will surely be a qualified ruler."
