To avoid raising suspicion, the Third Prince refrained from privately inviting Su Bin. However, he disguised himself and, accompanied by his master, Lin Yue, headed to Su Bin’s residence.

The Third Prince had already shared the information Su Bin had revealed with Lin Yue. Their bond was akin to that of a father and son, and he concealed nothing from his master, often seeking Lin Yue’s counsel on various matters. “Master, do you believe that Su Bin told us the complete truth?” he inquired.

Lin Yue shook his head, saying, “You should understand that he probably shared only a portion of the truth.”

“We may have underestimated the strength of the Dragon Phoenix Hall, Su Bin’s capabilities, and his skills as an actor.”

“He was well aware that the Crown Prince and the fifth princess planned to frame him, and he swiftly engaged the Black Panther Hall once they accepted the mission. This underscores the Dragon Phoenix Hall’s formidable influence.”

“Despite knowing that the Crown Prince and the fifth princess conspired against him, he remained fearless. Su Bin promptly furnished the Emperor with all the evidence when they wrongly accused you, leaving no trace.” “That’s what makes him so formidable.”

“But there’s a reason why Su Bin conceals the whole truth from us. Just as we never entirely regarded him as one of us.” “In times of crisis, we prioritize our own interests over aiding him.”

“Several times, he has strived to save himself.”

“I understand that this wasn’t your intention. You had no other option,” the Third Prince empathetically remarked.

He had a team of advisors arranged by the General Manor, which sometimes meant that he couldn’t unilaterally make decisions.

Lin Yue added, “That’s why we can’t blame Su Bin for not being completely forthright with us.”

The Third Prince fell silent for a moment before stating, “I don’t hold it against him. Our sincerity was lacking.”

Su Bin’s sister, Su Ning, had saved his life, and Su Bin had willingly approached them. In his current precarious situation, where the Crown Prince posed a constant threat, Su Bin had shown faith in him and agreed to collaborate. Based on these factors, they should assist Su Bin if he ever found himself in trouble.

However, the Third Prince bore a heavy responsibility and limited choices. Finally, he asked, “Master, do you think Su Bin is deserving of our trust?”

Lin Yue contemplated for a moment. “I’m not entirely certain. We need to meet with him again.”

The Third Prince nodded in agreement. “Agreed.”

The master and disciple soon arrived at Su Bin’s residence.

The Third Prince expressed his gratitude to Su Bin. “Thank you, Prime Su, for providing all the evidence to the emperor, which cleared my name.”

Su Bin offered a smile and replied, “It’s my duty. After all, we’re cooperating, aren’t we?”

“Besides, obtaining that evidence was a straightforward task.”

“If you truly wish to show your gratitude, assist me in covering the fee for the information I supplied to the Dragon Phoenix Hall.”

Su Bin made a deliberate effort to present himself as someone who cherished money above all else in front of the Third Prince and Lin Yue. It was essential for them to believe that he had ulterior motives and a profound love for money.

He acted as though he just couldn’t get enough of it.

The Third Prince readily agreed, saying, “It’s the least I can do.”

Lin Yue handed Su Bin a stack of banknotes and asked, “Primus Su, is this sum sufficient?”

Su Bin took the banknotes and replied, “This should suffice.”

The Third Prince ventured further, “Prime Su, our collaboration can extend even beyond this.”

Su Bin agreed, “I’m open to it.”

No matter how far they took their cooperation, he was determined not to reveal his true identity as the Hall Master of the Dragon Phoenix Hall..
