The Second Crown Prince saw that the Heavenly Emperor was willing to take a gamble and, fixing his gaze on him, said slowly, "I'll bet on Lin Suqing's life."
"What did you say?!" The Heavenly Emperor was shocked; he had assumed that the reason the Second Crown Prince insisted on taking Lin Suqing away was because if a member of the Divine Domain's tribe were punished by the celestial realms, even if the fault lay with the celestial realms for overstepping their bounds, as the Crown Prince of the Divine Domain, it wouldn't look good to have to explain this to the tribe members.
However, now he was absolutely certain that the Second Crown Prince's intention to save Lin Suqing was not for such a simple reason; the Second Crown Prince must have had some other scheme in mind.
