“Has Count Suo Lun finally co to his senses?” Zhi Li said with a laugh.
Suo Lun said, “I only want to exchange one person—my daughter.”
Zhi Li’s gaze shifted towards Turing Chen, stepping forward and taking hold of his hands, he said, “Prince Turing, you have suffered.”
Turing Chen knelt on one knee and said, “It’s nothing, just… I’ve embarrassed His Highness.”
“It’s nothing,” Zhi Li gently patted Turing Chen’s shoulder and said, “So people may seem to have won on the surface, but in reality, they’ve lost.
For the grievances you’ve endured and the revenge for your severed arm, I will seek justice for you.
When the day cos, I will give you Yan Nai’er, this woman, as a reward.”
Indeed, all semblance of cordiality had been discarded in Zhi Li’s words.
Next, Zhi Li’s gaze turned towards Suo Lun and said, “Count Suo Lun and Zhi Yan have just returned from the royal city, has sothing happened to our King again?
It seems his ti is indeed running short.”
Suo Lun’s face twitched, even though the news of the King’s second stroke was a closely guarded secret.
But it was not surprising that Zhi Li knew, considering how many eyes he must have had watching the royal palace.
Zhi Li said, “Suo Lun, how much longer can the King live?
Three months, five months?
Once he dies, it will be the end for the Suo family, and by then, it will be more than just the execution of nine kin.”
Suo Lun did not speak, rely looking at Zhi Li.
“So, in the ti to co, do what you must—eat, sleep, fuck!” said Zhi Li.
“Don’t be polite with Zhi Yan either.
If you can sleep with her, do so.
Otherwise, you’ll have won nothing in this struggle and will have lost your life in vain.”
Suo Lun laughed and said, “Since when has Zhi Li His Highness beco so tedious?”
Zhi Li said, “I apologize, the news of the King’s imminent death and complete paralysis has a bit excited.”
Suo Lun said, “Where is my daughter?
If this information is false, I will bring you Count Tuli Ming’s head.”
Zhi Li took out a piece of paper with a map on it.
A small town to the west of White Gazelle City, nad Qiufeng Town, where there was a small Shendong Monastery.
“Your cousin Fu Yan’er, after her scandal broke out, was driven out of her ho and sent to the remote Qiufeng Town’s Shendong Monastery, where she gave birth to her daughter.
There, she’s been reflecting and repenting while also helping the nuns with their work,” said Zhi Li.
“Although she has not been mistreated, her inner turmoil has caused her to fall seriously sick recently.
Marquis Fue was not willing to take her back, so he inford about her condition.”
So that’s how it was!
Marquis FuE inford Zhi Li about the news for two reasons.
First, he hoped Suo Lun would take Fu Yan’er and her daughter back to avoid further suffering or even death at Qiufeng Academy.
Secondly, the fact that FuE told Zhi Li and not Suo Lun indicated a favor to Zhi Li, allowing Zhi Li to use this information for a transaction with Suo Lun—also a sign of BaiHuo City’s covert allegiance to Zhi Li.
Marquis FuE sure knew how to play his cards, saving his critically ill granddaughter on one hand and trapping Suo Lun, his own grandson-in-law, on the other.
Seeking favor with Zhi Li by stepping over Suo Lun.
“Enough.
The transaction is complete.
Please leave, Zhi Li His Highness, as Tianshui City isn’t all that welcoming to you,” Suo Lun said.
Zhi Li stood up and said, “Then I shall take my leave.
The next ti I co, it will be the Suo family’s doomsday.”
Then he left, taking Turing Chen with him, escorted by Li Chenglian and other skilled protectors.
…
That very night, Suo Lun and Princess Zhuyan rode a griffin beast towards the border city of White Gazelle City in the Rage Wave Kingdom.
The next day, they arrived at Qiufeng Town—a quiet, exotic town.
The Shendong Monastery was situated in the center of the town, the most ancient and sacred building there.
Suo Lun’s cousin Fu Yan’er, along with his own biological daughter, were within!
