I Want To Kill Him! . . .
Cha Eun Xiao found himself in a state of shock, his thoughts racing with disbelief.
[Holly motherfxcker. I told you to be frank. And you are so frank? How overbearing!]
[Besides, what happened there, I am not a fool. You were not testing any shit!]
[That was real conflict!]
[A tough one!]
[After that, you actually asked me to help you so frankly? So cheeky!]
[What a weirdo!]
Standing beside him was Song Jue, who appeared equally displeased by the situation.
Steward Song seemed to grasp the situation and couldn't help but remark, [No wonder Cha Nantian can rule the entire kingdom. Look how cheeky they can be. That is incomparable. In my life, even the lives after this life, I will never be able to be so shameless!]
"What kind of favor exactly? We are being frank like this now. Why not just make it more clear!" Cha Eun Xiao could hardly believe what was happening and felt his face tingling with astonishment.
"Last night, something happened in Chen-Xing City… I think you should have heard about it." Second Prince acted like he was so honest and sincere at the moment, "Let alone the huge disturbance in the capital, our palaces were broken into big issues. We lost many men, and…"
Cha Eun Xiao grasped the situation before Second Prince even finished his sentence.
[I see!]
[He asked me for help even though I have insulted him like that. That is the reason.]
The night when the cultivators from the two great sects rushed into the palaces of the three princes, people of the three noble clans were slaughtered in their places…
That meant all three princes' support from the noble clans were cut off.
Within the next few years, the three princes had no outside support anymore. They all lost their backing. That meant they were back to the same starting point now.
In the competition among them, they would mostly depend on the forces inside the Kingdom of Chen. Cha Nantian was the strongest one. No matter who got the support from Cha Nantian, he had the biggest chance to ascend the throne.
Even though Second Prince had been insulted like that here, he accepted it. He wanted the support from Cha Nantian so much.
Comparing to the throne, pride meant nothing to him.
As long as he could get on the throne, he would regain his pride in any way!
Of course, he wouldn't ruin the opportunity just to vent his temporary anger!
"Don't you know, your honor. We Cha Clan never participate in such issues." Cha Eun Xiao didn't even want to hear details from the prince. He just declined directly.
Second Prince stared at him, shocked and speechless.
He never had thought that Lord Cha would say no to him so quickly and decisively. He hadn't even told him the offers.
He tried to persuade Cha Eun Xiao. However, Cha Eun Xiao talked softer but wouldn't agree to it.
[We don't participate in the fight for the throne. We don't seek the honor of supporting the crown!]
In fact, Second Prince felt relieved.
[Ye wouldn't help me, but they wouldn't help my brothers either. That means a lot to me.]
Second Prince felt good about it.
He was happy and then thought of other enjoyable things.
He lowered his voice, "Lord Cha, I won't push you, since you want to remain neutral. However, may I ask for another thing?"
Cha Eun Xiao looked at him with confusion. He didn't even want to talk anymore. He just gave him a hint with his eyes.
[What is it? Speak. And get off now…]
"Ahem… That lady… Is she really your woman?" Second Prince was being so obvious now.
[Even if she really is your concubine, it is normal for people in noble houses to exchange women. That is normal.]
[As long as I pay enough to you, I will get that girl as I wish! You don't get involved in the fight among princes. Fine. You won't offend me for just a woman, will you?]
Cha Eun Xiao's face cooled down. He spoke with a terrifying voice, "She is mine!"
Cha Eun Xiao made his disagreement quite evident, not bothering to mask the chill in his tone.
Second Prince clenched his teeth and responded in a low, intense voice, "Congratulations, then."
He abruptly shifted the conversation and exchanged a few trivial words before taking his leave. However, as he departed, he couldn't resist glancing back at the courtyard several times. It was evident that he hadn't entirely given up on the idea of her. Yet, his disappointment was palpable, for her beautiful face never graced him with its presence again.
He departed with a sense of dissatisfaction, the joy he had arrived with now replaced by disappointment.
Cha Eun Xiao fixed a fierce gaze on Second Prince's departing figure, and his heart seethed with a relentless, unyielding desire for revenge.
Standing by his side, Song Jue couldn't quite comprehend Cha Eun Xiao's intentions. He inquired, "Kid, are you considering killing him?"
"It's not a difficult task, is it?" Cha Eun Xiao responded icily.
Song Jue nodded in agreement.
Song Jue had nearly regained ninety percent of his former strength. If he decided to deal with Second Prince, he could single-handedly wipe out the prince's entire palace in a single night, quietly and efficiently. Steward Song feared nothing.
However, Cha Eun Xiao was even more fearless.
If he wished to eliminate Second Prince, Song Jue wouldn't be his first choice for the task.
"I believe that even if we do nothing, this prince will come to us tonight," Song Jue stated in a deep voice. "The girl is exceptionally beautiful. She ranks among the most stunning ladies in the Qing-Yun Realm. The prince's intentions are clear, and he cannot hide them from us. He believes that, as a prince, he can act without consequences. He thinks we will respect him no matter how wrong he may be. He believes we wouldn't dare to oppose him. This arrogance fuels his audacity."
Cha Eun Xiao said with indifference, "That's why I plan to kill him tonight."
"I won't stand in your way," Song Jue replied dispassionately. "But the girl is exceptionally pure."
"Too pure?" Cha Eun Xiao furrowed his brows, perplexed by Song Jue's statement.
"Young fool, you've worked hard to train Bing-Er. You want her to accompany you in the martial world, don't you? You want her by your side in your long and adventurous life, correct?" Song Jue asked calmly.
"Exactly," Cha Eun Xiao affirmed. "She's incredibly talented. It would be a tremendous loss to the universe if she can't enter the Qing-Yun Realm and become one of its most formidable figures."
"That's true. That's why Bing-Er needs to change, a thorough transformation," Song Jue spoke matter-of-factly. "She needs to see more and experience the harsh realities of the world. A hothouse flower will never comprehend the splendor of a rainbow if it hasn't endured a rainstorm. I think you understand what I mean."
