Chapter 650 (2/2)
In all honesty, the emperor hasn’t chosen a successor as he can’t choose between the third princess and the eldest prince.
“He is a doctor, a legendary one! Maybe even the best in the world!” said the third princess. She smiled, maybe a little too forcefully, she was still nervous about her decision.
“The best doctor in the world? Isn’t that supposed to be that Confused doctor? No one knows his location, how could he be here and how do you know him?” Only more questions popped into the emperor’s mind.
The emperor stayed silent for a while and said, “Fei, are you close to Ye Lang?”
“No!” Fei shook her head but no one believed her.
“?” The emperor was confused.
“Sure, you’re not close but at least you’re closer to him than us!” said the third princess with a sly smile.
“Oh. so that was the case!” The emperor caught on to what the third princess was hinting at. He and the third princess were now under the impression that Fei and Ye Lang had something going on but were unwilling to admit it.
“Can you convince Ye Lang to stay and serve our empire?”
Before Fei got to reject the emperor, the third princess cut in and said, “Father, that is impossible. We can only at most maintain a good relationship with him, he is not someone we can convince!!”
“We can’t do it? Then who can?” The emperor was displeased, they were one of the biggest empires in the world, he had some pride in it.
The third princess shook her head and said, “No one can! He’s someone that cannot be swayed by anything. As long as we maintain a good relationship with him, it’s good enough!”
“Why?” the emperor felt that there was something his daughter wasn’t telling him.
“Father, he is that Ye Lang. The one even the empress of Soaring Sky Empire couldn’t handle,” said the third princess.
“..., is it really him? Isn’t an alchemist, when did he become a warrior?” said the shocked emperor.
“That, I don’t know. Fei, do you know?” asked the third princess.
“?? Why ask me? I don’t know either. He is a very powerful alchemist. From what I heard from Yulan, he can be very scary once he is serious in battle,” said Fei. She told everyone everything she knew, she didn’t feel the need to hide.
“A warrior alchemist? That’s right, he was moving his sword looked weak, like he doesn’t have an intent to hurt anyone. If he was using his alchemy skills to battle the whole time, it makes sense to why his swordsmanship looked so special,” said the third princess.
Everyone started to misunderstand what Fei had said. They thought Ye Lang was only using his alchemy skills.
Because of that, everyone thought if Ye Lang were to battle, he wouldn’t be as powerful as they imagined before.
This odd misunderstanding saved Ye Lang lots of trouble!!
