Therefore, when the Prince of Guanglin, busy with hosting duties, returned to his study and discovered the letter, his emotions were complex and hesitant.
Firstly, the person who managed to break through the defenses of his study and quietly leave this letter must possess immense powers, which added credibility to the content of the letter;
Secondly, though it was said to be an open call for a son-in-law, in reality, the Prince of Guanglin already had a favored candidate—Monk Nengqing, the direct disciple of the abbot of Ci'en Temple in Bianjing;
Thirdly, Sanyang Temple was indeed powerful, but the White Horse Zen Institution was too ordinary.
Clutching the thin letter, the Prince of Guanglin suddenly found himself without a clue, nor could he figure out why he, the first in line to the Song Country's throne, had sunk to such a position where he could not even secure the title of Crown Prince.
