Chapter 784 - Xi Jin Exchanges His Soul for News of Daier (1/2)

The empress looked at the Emperor of Dongshu Nation with a worried expression after watching Xi Jin leave in a hurry. “Your Majesty, Jin’er…”

The Emperor of Dongshu Nation stopped her. “I realize there is a change in his gaze. Let him be. If he still decides to end his life because of a woman, let him do it. I will take that to mean I never had a son.”

“Your Majesty, he is our son,” the empress cried sadly.

The Emperor of Dongshu Nation felt sorry but also helpless. “Such a weak and irresponsible man is not worthy of being the Crown Prince. If he insists on dying, there is no point in stopping him,” he said.

The empress was wiping tears from the sides of her eyes after hearing what he said. “We should have arranged a marriage between the Crown Prince and Dai’er in the first place. Besides, the Crown Prince didn’t even want to marry Shen Yunya. Why must you still pass an edict and force him to marry her? Now that he has done it, he…”

“If he can get himself together, he will be deciding his own marriage from today onwards. You and I will no longer force him,” the emperor said before walking out.

Xi Jin’s complexion was pale. He was still very weak. However, he moved quickly towards Jialan Hall to look for the state preceptor.

The state preceptor was sitting in front of the table with his legs crossed. He wasn’t surprised at all when he saw Xi Jin entering the hall. “Crown Prince, you’re finally here,” he said.

Xi Jin was quite surprised by the fact that the state preceptor had predicted his arrival. He then walked forward, gave the preceptor a slight bow, and sat opposite the man with his legs crossed.

He scanned the state preceptor from head to toe. He looked around twenty-eight years old, with a graceful and handsome face. If the Demon King was a deity, the state preceptor there before him must be an immortal. Although this man was very different from the Demon King, his sage-like vibe made him seemed like an extraordinary person. He had even managed to become the state preceptor at such a young age, which was very admirable.

However, the state preceptor had always looked the same ever since the Crown Prince visited him when he was a child. Even now, the man still hadn’t aged.

“What does the Crown Prince want to know?” the state preceptor asked in a dreamy voice as he stared at the Xi Jin’s pale face.

Xi Jin got straight to the point and revealed what he wanted to know. “I heard that the state preceptor has the ability to look into the past and the future. I would like to know what happened before Shen Qingdai’s death. I want to know if she is still alive,” Xi Jin said.

The state preceptor stared at him for a while. “Have you thought this through, Crown Prince?” he asked.
