"I think you're quite good. Despite some lack in character, I suppose you could be a worthy addition to my following. What do you say? In time, when I ascend to the top of the Nine Countries, you too could share in that glory," said Fang Lin with a beaming smile.
At these words, the other three people in the room froze in bewilderment. Zhou Yishui's face darkened; even with his excellent composure, he was agitated by Fang Lin's audacious comment.
Xu Wang and Steward Shen watched with stunned expressions, their gazes on Fang Lin as though they were looking at a downright monster.
Had this guy lost his mind? Thinking of having Crown Prince Zhou Yishui as a follower? And planning to ascend to the summit of the Nine Countries? Surely, this was too preposterous, even for a boastful bluff.
