831 It“s Not Like You“re Going to Marry Little Feng Wu
“Yes, of course —”
Xuan Yi nodded in a hurry. “Of course Your Royal Highness doesn’t have to ask for anybody’s permission, but… little Feng Wu was worried about Yu Mingye after you pushed him in.” Your Royal Highness, you’re practically pushing Feng Wu into Yu Mingye’s arms.
Staring at Xuan Yi, Jun Linyuan said arrogantly, “What’s that supposed to mean?”
“What?”
“Why should I care what little Feng Wu thinks about Yu Mingye?!”
Xuan Yi was speechless. Would Your Royal Highness look like this, like you’ve lost your wits, if you really didn’t care? You obviously care a lot!
“Do you think that I, the crown prince of the empire, would be distracted by a mere Feng Wu?”
Xuan Yi shook his head repeatedly. “No, of course not.”
“I can kill that stupid girl whenever I want to!”
Xuan Yi said, “Yes, of course.”
With a snort, Jun Linyuan raised his chin. “So, what makes you think I give a damn if Feng Wu likes that Yu Mingye or not?”
“No, of course you don’t…” Like hell you don’t!
Xuan Yi sighed inwardly.
Right now, he knew perfectly well how Feng felt on a daily basis.
The old man had to sound obedient while making sure that the crown prince didn’t get embarrassed. That was such a tough job.
But Xuan Yi was quick-witted and he came up with an excuse right away. “But Yu Mingye has always considered you his arch rival; do we really want him to show off in front of little Feng Wu?”
Xuan Yi was so proud of his quick reaction!
Jun Linyuan darted a glance at Xuan Yi, pondered, then frowned.
Xuan Yi understood right away! Jun Linyuan was hesitating!
He went on persuading him. “The Yu family has established their own empire, which is located in the area where three kingdoms share a common border. It has precipitous terrain and is easy to defend, but hard to attack.
“Little Feng Wu has no cultivation skills, but she’s an excellent doctor, an exceptional formation master, and a little genius. If she ends up marrying Yu Mingye, she’ll become a potential threat to our Junwu Empire!”
Xuan Yi almost convinced himself with the story he made up. Suppressing the excitement in his voice, he went on. “So, Your Royal Highness, for the long-term stability and prosperity of our empire, we mustn’t allow Feng Wu to marry Yu Mingye!”
Crossing his hands behind his back, Jun Linyuan raised his chin and darted a glance at Xuan Yi. “You think so, too?”
“Yes, Your Royal Highness! Not only should we prevent Feng Wu from marrying Yu Mingye, we should also stop them from becoming too close! She might leak confidential information to him unknowingly!”
Feng would praise Xuan Yi for his acting if he were here.
Jun Linyuan nodded and said in a solemn voice, “You do have a point.”
“Yes!” Xuan Yi nodded. “Yu Mingye is such a scheming guy and he’s so good at currying favor girls. What if she falls in love with him?!”
Jun Linyuan snorted. “She’s not blind!”
Xiao Wu glanced at Jun Linyuan. “Of course Yu Mingye is no match for Your Royal Highness, but not only is Yu Mingye persistent, he’s also promised Feng Wu a proper marriage! Your Royal Highness, it’s not like you’re ever going to marry little Feng Wu.”
Xuan Yi stole a glance at Jun Linyuan as he spoke.
Jun Linyuan looked embarrassed and he coughed into his fist.
“All girls expect to get married someday,” said Xuan Yi patiently, hoping that Boss Jun could read between the lines. However —
