3836: The Patriarch (2)

The Patriarch (2)

Feng Wu smiled. "What do you mean by that? I'm helping you get rid of the enemies. Princess Rao has suffered a lot in this battle. Please don't tell me that you're not happy about it."1

The prince didn't know what to say. Of course, he was happy. If he won, he would win the entire kingdom, but this was the first time that someone had pointed it out.

He stared at Feng Wu and said indifferently, "Miss Feng Wu, are you always so frank?"

Feng Wu shrugged. "Not really. Your Royal Highness, you're the only one who knows who I really am."

The prince had been leaning back in his chair, but now, he leaned forward, crossed his fingers, and stared at Feng Wu. "Aren't you worried that I'll hand you over to Princess Rao?"

Feng Wu smiled. "You won't."

The prince narrowed his eyes on Feng Wu. "Why not?"

Feng Wu leaned back on the bamboo chair and looked around the room. She then turned to the prince and said, "I could kill these Spiritual Overlords without spiritual essence. What do you think of my capability when I recover my spiritual essence?"

The look on the prince's face changed.

Feng Wu went on. "Plus, who am I in the Junwu Empire? Who's my patron? Who's he in the Junwu Empire? Your Royal Highnesses are well-informed. I don't think I need to explain everything."

The prince nodded. He had been keeping an eye on Feng Wu's relationship with Jun Linyuan, for Jun Linyuan's marriage was too important.

Feng Wu smiled again. "Befriending me is as good as winning the Junwu Empire's friendship."

The prince said indifferently, "The friendship of the Junwu Empire is great, but not having it won't matter much."

Feng Wu shook her head with a smile. "It's true that the friendship of the Junwu Empire won't affect your accession to the throne, but what if your competitors suddenly gain the support of other countries?"

The prince narrowed his eyes. "Are you saying…"

Feng Wu pointed to the northeast.

The crown prince asked, "The Dongsang Kingdom?"

Feng Wu nodded.

The prince stared at Feng Wu with eyes as deep as the ocean.

He didn't ask Feng Wu how she knew because he knew that Feng Wu was telling the truth.

"Interesting." The prince stared at Feng Wu and suddenly smiled. "What do you want?"

Feng Wu stared at him and asked earnestly, "You want to hear the truth?"

The prince said, "Yes."

Feng Wu nodded and said directly, "I need to see your Patriarch."

The prince almost choked on his tea. He immediately put down his cup and studied Feng Wu with an astonished look on his face.

Feng Wu shrugged, not feeling guilty at all. "You told me to tell the truth."

The prince took a deep breath. "Do you know who our Patriarch is?"

Feng Wu asked, "Huyan… Yanbo?"

Pffft!

The prince almost spat out another mouthful of water.

Huyan Yanbo?!

No one in their generation dared to mention the name of their Patriarch, and they all addressed him as Patriarch respectfully. However, to this girl, addressing him as Huyan Yanbo was as common as addressing someone of her generation. The prince was almost frightened to death.

"Just… shut up." The prince stared at Feng Wu with a solemn look on his face. "You shouldn't address our Patriarch by his name. If my father finds out, he'll cut your head off!"
