Rather than taking risk, he would rather pick the safe route and followed through this kind of path.
This is Nan Hou Xiang's decision.
Even if it was cowardly in the eyes of others, he didn't care.
*Fiuh*
Seeing that another official had come to him and asked him to leave, Nan Hou Xiang heaved a sigh secretly in his heart. He was worried that they would send another official who was harder to deal than Song Chuan to him.
At that time, Nan Hou Xiang didn't know what he should do to protect himself.
Continue lying?
He was sure that Song Chuan had noticed that he didn't complete say the truth. Only around 90% of it was the truth while the rest was purposely covered and even changed by Nan Hou Xiang.
Because he knew that he couldn't say the complete truth.
If he said that the teacher wanted to recruit him, they would definitely ask whether he was tempted or whether he agreed to the teacher. No matter how much Nan Hou Xiang said that he didn't agree, it was possible for his name to be tarnished.
Nan Hou Xiang didn't want that.
His name was already bad enough due to his father's reputation and many other things. If he added this, could he pass the examination and become a minister like his dream?
It would be impossible.
Nan Hou Xiang looked at the back once more before he left.
He didn't want to stay here any longer.
...
Song Chuan finished talking with Nan Hou Xiang and found Prime Minister Lan was waiting while holding a bamboo scroll. He should have finished with other matters that required his attention too. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
"Have you finished?" Prime Minster Lan raised his head and saw Song Chuan coming.
"Yes." Song Chuan chuckled. "He's not a bad liar but he's still too innocent. I don't find any problems in his answer, though. What do you exactly want to find out?"
"Whether he would think of leaving Fei Yang Kingdom or not," Prime Minister Lan said lightly.
Nan Hou Xiang's life experience was clear for everyone who wanted to find out.
From the arrogant young master of the Nan Family to the cowardly and careful young man who didn't dare to speak nonsense. The changes were very big and if one had to say, they would not think that the two of them were the same person unless they saw him.
Because of his different life experience, Nan Hou Xiang used to have everything but lost it all. Would he want it all back?
Those who had everything but lose it would usually want it all back. How could they be willing to lose everything?
Nan Hou Xiang should be the same.
He was unreconciled with his current situation, but whether he would be willing to side with Fan Yi Kingdom in his path to rise up was another question.
And this was precisely what Prime Minister Lan wanted to find out.
"If he wants to side with Fan Yi Kingdom, he would not do it now but many years ago." Song Chuan shook his head.
The current Nan Hou Xiang had suffered a lot and endured bullying in the Capital Academy. While they didn't really support bullying, they didn't want to interfere too much with the affairs in the Capital Academy.
