Xiaoming got tongue-tied by Lóng Wei's question.
"Why do you doubt yourself so much? Do you think I could have taken down the King without the Crown Prince's help?" Lóng Wei asked.
"Brother Lóng Wei could have," Xiaoming replied.
"Then, that would have been at the expense of many lives," Lóng Wei replied. "I will not be in the palace for some time," he then stated.
Qizhen and Xiaoming were bewildered by his statement.
"Where is the Prince going?" Qizhen asked with a worried expression.
"The place where Yuze was born and studied," Lóng Wei replied. "Li Hua and I will stay there for some time. The more I stay here, the angrier I will turn," he murmured.
"But Brother Lóng Wei is the governor," Xiaoming stated.
"Make someone else. I am not interested in being governor anymore," Lóng Wei asserted. "The real reason I became governor was that I wanted to find the truth," he stated.
