Fighting to succeed the throne?
The group became even more alarmed. If Wei Suantian was sent by the Empress, this question must’ve been asked with the intention to kill.
”No,” Zhou Xuanji answered calmly.
He wasn’t scared. He merely did not want to.
Used to being so carefree, he did not want the colossal empire to become his burden.
That burden would have drained him more than his age would.
Having heard that, Wei Suantian’s smile disappeared. It seemed that he did not like Zhou Xuanji’s answer.
”To become Great Zhou’s Emperor and rule over billions of people. Such a supreme authority does not fancy you?”
Wei Suantian asked. He stared at Zhou Xuanji, as though he was afraid that Zhou Xuanji would lie.
”Supreme authority? Is Great Zhou Empire the greatest in the Northern Wilderness Region?
Zhou Xuanji asked with a raised brow. He was not afraid to offend Wei Suantian.
He figured out that Wei Suantian was sent by the emperor.
Ever since Lady Zhao Xuan threw him into the river, he was determined to have no blood-relation with the Emperor.
Previously he still intended to use the Emperor to deal with the Empress. But now, it seemed that there was no longer a need.
He the confidence to do it himself.
Wei Suantian fell silent. He realized that he underestimated Zhou Xuanji’s determination.
He sighed deeply and said, “If you don’t fight for it, you might not live to that day.”
”The Emperor will ascend in at most five years. After that, Great Zhou will become Zhou Yalong’s. You will have no place in the empire.”
Only at this point did everyone realize that Wei Suantian was here to help Zhou Xuanji.
He sounded like Emperor Yan of Zhou favored Zhou Xuanji to take the throne?
Zhou Xuanji sat under the giant tree and said without a care, “His ascension is his problem. I can deal with the Sword Monarch now, you think I will be afraid of Zhou Yalong?”
Five years later, Zhou Xuanji will surely become much more powerful!
How would he be afraid of Zhou Yalong?
He looked up at Wei Suantian and continued, “Thank you for your good intention. If you had not helped back then, I would not be who I am today.”
Wei Suantian was stunned.
”You remember what happened back then?” He asked in astonishment.
He thought about it again. The prince before him had already become the well-known Sword Emperor of Great Zhou. He likely remembered what happened when he was two years old.
He shook his head with a bitter smile, “You are devilish indeed. Compared to you, Zhou Yalong looked like an ordinary person. No wonder the emperor favored you so greatly.”
Zhou Xuanji frowned. He did not like Wei Suantian’s tone.
It sounded as though the Emperor treated him well.
He asked, “Official Wei, do you have any other matter?”
Wei Suantian understood that he was not welcomed, so he smiled and was prepared to leave.
He took three steps and stopped suddenly to leave a word behind, “Be careful. Xinhao Sect Lord’s hatred is on you. He has sent out Xinhao Sect’s top prodigy Huang Ming to come after you.”
After that, he turned into white smoke and disappeared.
Jiang Xue, Xiao Jinghong, and the rest came to Zhou Xuanji.
”Master, Huang Ming is difficult to deal with. In the battle with Zhou Yalong back then, although he was sneak-attacked, he could still badly injure Zhou Yalong. His prowess is truly terrifying.”
”Wei Suantian can find us. Should we relocate?”
”Emperor Yan of Zhou wanted to nurture you to become the Emperor? And you rejected?”
”Master, is there a scheme? To lure you into the royal city of Great Zhou.”
The group asked without stop and made Zhou Xuanji a headache.
He stared at the group and said unpleasantly, “Every one of you! Continue with your training. I have my plans!”
Xiao Jinghong, Zhao Congjian, Beixiao Wangjian, Han Shenbo, Huang Lianxin, and the little black snake was frightened immediately. They left quickly and did not dare to linger.
Jiang Xue sat beside Zhou Xuanji. She did not ask, but only hugged his right arm quietly.
”Seems like we need to be relocated.”
