Chapter 2279: Chapter 2279: Just Go Die

"Yes, Father has plenty of secrets. You don’t know them, do you? I can tell you all of it, Fifth Brother, I..."

"The Emperor Ziyan’s secrets, do you really think you need to tell me?"

Before Yin Lvqing could finish his sentence, Prince Niu directly interrupted him.

"I..."

Yin Lvqing stuttered.

Indeed, this "good brother" of his was always pretending to be honest and unsuspecting in front of everyone.

It’s probable that Emperor Ziyan’s secrets had long been unraveled by him, thoroughly examined and understood.

And yet, he foolishly thought he could use Emperor Ziyan’s secrets as leverage to bargain for freedom. Wasn’t that equivalent to indulging in a hopeless daydream instead?

"Hss—haa!"

He closed his eyes, inhaling deeply, and then exhaling forcefully.

Afterward, he opened his eyes and looked at Prince Niu.

"Fifth Brother, do you really have to know?"

"What do you think?"

Prince Niu glanced at him with a half-smile, questioning in return.

"Fifth Brother, you’ll regret it. If *that person* finds out that you’ve learned his identity, do you know how dangerous it would be? I’m keeping silent for your own good. Why can’t you understand the painstaking effort I’m making for you?"

Yin Lvqing looked at him and spoke in a deep, melancholic tone.

Prince Niu: "..."

At this moment, he seriously wanted to knock open Yin Lvqing’s head to see what the hell was inside.

For *his* good? Hard-earned efforts with painstaking care?

"Yin Lvqing, if you ask me, you might as well drop dead."

With that, he really turned around, preparing to leave, not wanting to stay here any longer, disgusted by him.

After all, the matter of Sui Zimo’s lineage was bound to be revealed sooner or later—it was just a question of time.

Why should he waste so much time here with someone who was revolting enough to make people lose their appetite?

"No, Fifth Brother, wait, I’ll say it, I’ll say it!" Yin Lvqing saw him about to leave and no longer hesitated, blurting out.

"That person is Sky City’s Second Young Master."

He said.

"Hmm?"

Prince Niu turned back and looked at Yin Lvqing.

Sky City’s Second Young Master?

Forgive him for living on this continent for so long, yet he’d never heard of Sky City even *having* a Second Young Master before. Where did this character spring from?

"Sky City’s Second Young Master? Since when did Sky City have a Second Young Master?"

From what he knew, Sky City’s City Lord had only one son, who vanished mysteriously—much like his own son.

Of course, that was many years ago.

Ever since then, Sky City had had no Junior City Lord.

If there isn’t even a Junior City Lord, then where could a Second Young Master emerge from?

"He’s the City Lord’s younger brother," Yin Lvqing replied.

"What did you just say?!"

Upon hearing his words, Prince Niu was utterly shocked.

The City Lord’s younger brother—the frail, sickly one who could practically be blown away by a gust of wind?

And, moreover, he wasn’t even the biological brother of Sky City’s City Lord but merely an adopted son of the late, deceased City Lord. How on earth did such a person suddenly become Sky City’s Second Young Master?

Was this some kind of self-proclaimed title?

Still, what surprised him wasn’t the connection of Yin Lvqing’s mysterious accomplice to Sky City, but rather the identity of Sui Zimo.

The timeline, the events, and the people—they all aligned perfectly.

In other words, Sui Zimo might very well be the long-missing Junior City Lord of Sky City?

"Yin Lvqing, you are truly daring—you’re not afraid that the Sky City’s City Lord will wipe you out for this?"
