Chapter 485 - 485 Who Would Be Willing?
485 Who Would Be Willing?
However, bringing Gong Cheng along would spoil the fun. She felt that this person was born to be at odds with her.
“Will Gong Cheng also be taking the carriage?” she asked.
“Him?” Qian Jiyun’s expression turned cold at the mention of Gong Cheng.
Gong Cheng had thrown a tantrum shortly after learning that he would be sent to Huayan Peak. Children who were unable to mature could never be educated.!!
“He will go ahead of time. Yan Qin will bring him there,” he said.
He would not allow Gong Cheng to follow them and dampen their spirits. Hence, he asked Yan Qin to set off with Gong Cheng in advance and rush to Huayan Peak as soon as possible.
“That’s good.”
An Jiuyue nodded in satisfaction. She did not want to see Gong Cheng.
She did not want Gong Cheng to interfere with her cultivation on the way there. One had to learn about the Original Soul energy from scratch. The first step had to be figured out on one’s own, regardless of talent.
Furthermore, it was uncertain whether her talent was merely a boast!
…
Outside the Prince De Residence…
It was a hot summer day. The weather in the capital, however, was neither too hot nor too cold.
Jian Xun, who had just left the Prince De residence, felt a bone-chilling wind instead of a cool breeze. He could not help but shiver.
“Your Highness, are we really going to—”
“Shut up!”
Before the servant could finish speaking, Jian Xun turned around and glared at him.
He did not want to hear the servant speak at all. He did not want to go to the godforsaken southern border, let alone with Prince De!
“There’s nothing bad about going to the southern border, Your Highness. You can showcase your capabilities,” the servant advised after some thought.
“What do you know?” Jian Xun glared at the servant and almost slapped him.
He knew that whoever controlled the southern border would be like Qian Jiyun, whom no one in the capital dared to offend. Even the old Emperor had to be courteous to him!
He had also considered going to the southern border to vie for control of it. Perhaps he would become the sole Jian family heir rather than one of many.
But so what? Could he go to the southern border just because he wanted to?
What could he accomplish at the southern border without the backing of multiple powers? Nothing.
If he went alone, he would receive more support. His mother, father, and some others would support him.
However, he had to go with Prince De.
Jian Xun was one of the many princes of the Princess Imperial. Between him and Prince De, everyone knew who was more valuable.
Hence, if he went to the southern border this time, he would only play foil to Prince De. He might even become the scapegoat if Prince De causes any trouble!
Who would be willing to accept such a role?
“If going to the southern border is that simple, everyone will do it. Would it even be my turn? That’s a place where you’d only narrowly escape from death. How many people can climb out of heaps of corpses countless times like Qian Jiyun?”
Qian Jiyun was probably the only one.
Besides, the southern border was already in Qian Jiyun’s hands. How could he give up his authority so easily?
Even the old Emperor could not do anything to Qian Jiyun, let alone him.
Even Prince De would only cause trouble for Qian Jiyun at the southern border, right? After all, Qian Jiyun even killed Prince Lei Ting.
