"Qian Xing?" Lin Yuan asked.
"I'll be going first. Be careful."
"Yes."
Long Qian Xing didn't give any specific order because there were a lot of other martial artist in the main hall. If he were to say anything that was too specific, there might be other people who would hear him.
At the same time, his mind thought of Madam Wen as he didn't expect her to be able to stay alive all this time. It seemed that her luck was quite great to be able to survive for so long even though her condition was already that bad.
'I guess I should put another tile inside.'
While thinking, Long Qian Xing didn't stop walking. Unlike other guests who came out of the main hall to return home, Long Qian Xing was heading into the inner palace. The road he picked barely had any guard and it was very quiet.
Before long, he had arrived in a small building and entered inside. After entering, Long Qian Xing proceeded to climb the stairs until he reached the top where a young man was sitting with a book in front of him.
"You're late." The man, Emperor Yang Zhou, looked up.
Long Qian Xing shrugged. "Ask your mother why she even want to give me a concubine when I don't want any."
Emperor Yang Zhou's eyes flashed when he heard that. He had known Long Qian Xing for a long time and naturally knew that Long Qian Xing abhorred the thought of even having a concubine. If he wanted to lose Long Qian Xing, all he had to do was to force this man to have a lot of concubines.
He was sure that it wouldn't take one day for Long Qian Xing to defect to another kingdom.
"Sorry," Emperor Yang Zhou was regretful for not being able to move faster.
"It's not your fault." Long Qian Xing shook his head.
"You hold back because I'm not strong enough." Emperor Yang Zhou knew that if Long Qian Xing truly wanted to make enemies out of Empress Dowager Mei, it wouldn't matter at all for Long Qian Xing. The Long Family behind him was more than enough to give him standing to go against her.
It would only be a bit difficult for some time.
"If I do that, you'll have to show off one of your cards too early." Long Qian Xing was calm. "It's just one step back."
Emperor Yang Zhou looked at Long Qian Xing as his mind calmly calculated the things that had occurred. "Are you not angry?"
"Hmm, I ought to teach them a bit of a lesson, right? I'm sure my grandmother would not want me to have too many people eyeing the position beside me aside from the rightful one." Long Qian Xing chuckled. "I'll just give them warning."
"The rumors will be scary."
"I won't be returning."
One sentence. It was clear that during the period of time when Shangguan Mi stayed in Long Family Residence and suffered there, Long Qian Xing would not even go back home. Just like his father, he would stay at the frontline and spent his time there without even bothering to go back home.
Marrying either this father or son would be the same as marrying a eunuch.
Or even a ghost.
Since they wouldn't even be able to see the other party.
