My Wife Is a Transmigrated Master Cultivator - Chapter 1579

1579 Finally Revealing His Ambition (1)
Three days later, Duanmu Ge met Wang Jiu again.

“Your Highness, there’s news from the Helian family again. They’re afraid that something will happen and want you to deal with the fourth prince as soon as possible,” Wang Jiu said carefully.

After a pause, he continued, “As for Array Master Mu and Alchemist Lu, rope them in if you can. If you can’t, deal with them together.”

Duanmu Ge’s face darkened. “The Helian family thinks too highly of me to ask me to deal with two peak Foundation Establishment techniques masters at once!”

“Your Highness, I think what the Helian family said makes sense. Array Master Mu and Alchemist Lu, these two variables, are really too big. We have to be careful. If anything goes wrong at this critical moment, all our efforts will be in vain.”

Wang Jiu braced himself and expressed his opinion.

Duanmu Ge clenched his fists and glanced coldly at Wang Jiu.

How could he not know that Lu Zijia and Mu Tianyan were a major variable? Coupled with the increasing uneasiness in his mind these few days, he even had the thought of making a move in advance.

However, roping them in wasn’t necessarily the only way to get the loyalty of the two people.

Thinking of this, a strange smile appeared on Duanmu Ge’s face.

“Reply to them and say that I’ll take action tonight,” Duanmu Ge said.

“Yes, Your Highness,” Wang Jiu replied respectfully and quickly left.

…

Night came. Duanmu Ge found an excuse and brought Duanmu Heng to a remote forest.

“Second Brother, why are you looking for me?” Seeing that Duanmu Ge was standing with his back facing him and not saying anything, Duanmu Heng could only speak first.

“Fourth Brother, what do you think of me, your second brother?” Duanmu Ge didn’t turn around, but asked faintly.

Duanmu Heng smiled. “Naturally, you’re not bad.”
Of course, this was what he knew when he still didn’t know that Duanmu Ge was the real mastermind.

Duanmu Ge turned around and smiled honestly. “In that case, why don’t you give the throne to me?”

Duanmu Heng was stunned. Apparently, he didn’t expect him to be so direct.

Seeing his reaction, Duanmu Ge thought that he was unwilling. He couldn’t help but mock, “What’s the matter, Fourth Brother, can’t bear to part with it?”

Duanmu Heng shook his head. “I just didn’t expect you to be interested in the throne. I’ve always thought that you’re an unambitious person.”

He wasn’t the only one who thought so. More than 90% of the people in the entire Imperial City would think so.

After all, he had disguised himself too well. He had been pretending since he was young, for more than 30 years!

For a person to pretend for more than 30 years without anyone suspecting him, it could be seen how shrewd this person was and how ruthless he was to himself.

“If I show any improper thoughts towards that position, I’m afraid I’ll die in the battle for the throne before I grow up.”

Duanmu Ge slowly turned around and looked at Duanmu Heng with viciousness and envy.

“My mother is just the daughter of a small family clan without power. I’m not like you, Fourth Brother, who has an outstanding alchemy master behind you. No, there’s not only an alchemy master right now, but also an array formation master and a Golden Core Patriarch. Fourth Brother, your life is so good that it makes people envious!”

If he was so lucky, why would he need to lie low and suffer for more than 30 years? Why would he need to be mocked for so many years?!

Sometimes, he hated himself so much. He hated himself for not being Duanmu Heng!

But now, he didn’t hate his fourth brother anymore. As long as Duanmu Heng died, the throne would be his. What was there to hate?
