329 Finishing the Conques (2/2)
”I can't,” the Emperor of Pan Kingdom answered after a few seconds of lamentation. ”I belong to Pan Kingdom and forever I'll stay here.”
”Is it worth it?” Yan asked.
”I don't know, but I don't want to abandon my identity. We're destined to stand on the opposite side, so I believe that I won't be able to stand on the same side with you. Besides, I'm already too old. It will be too late for me.”
His eyes gazed at the faraway sky. He already lived for a long time and saw many different things. For this tempting proposal, he has to reject it for he didn't want to change his viewpoint. In his heart, Pan Kingdom shall be the first place he came to this world and also the place where he went from this world.
”There's no need to keep persuading me. My answer will always be the same.”
Facing this stubborn emperor, Soujin nodded his head. He turned towards Ming Hui. ”Fan Lanying should have captured Ye Tian. You can take care of that matter.”
”I understand.”
The Emperor of Pan Kingdom's eyes shook when he heard the name of his son. Ye Tian might be useless and idiot, but he was the only son he had. He always wanted to make that son of his the future successor of the kingdom. It seemed, his wish would never be fulfilled.
As the three of them walked out, they could hear Soujin talked with the emperor. Jun Hua pointed to the other gate. ”There's a secret passage over there. If Ye Tian wants to escape, he must be using that way.”
”I believe you have told Fan Lanying about this.”
”Of course,” Jun Hua grinned. ”She wants to achieve something from this war, so I'll let her have the glory of catching the Crown Prince.”
”Do you think if we use his son, the emperor will change his decision?” Yan still felt that it was too bad for someone as capable as the Emperor of Pan Kingdom to die. He wanted that person to become one of his subordinates.
”I don't think so,” Jun Hua sighed. ”He's too stubborn. Besides, there are things in this world that you will never want to exchange for anything. Even if you offer him a lot of money, I doubt he's going to change his decision.”
Yan frowned. ”Money can buy a lot of things.”
”Which one is more precious, your life or money?” Ming Hui rolled his eyes.
”Of course it's money!” Yan yelled. It was then that he realized what he was comparing it to. ”Wait, no, its life!”
”If you say that its money, let me buy you and beat you up to become a proper emperor, my brother,” Ming Hui said with a dark tone.
Yan felt rather terrified to see the dark expression on Ming Hui's face. He quickly turned around. ”Wait, I'm sorry! I won't say it again!”
Jun Hua didn't even bother stopping them as she took the report from the nearby soldiers about Fan Lanying. When she read that Ye Tian was killed because he retaliated, she quickly read the detail. After she finished, she only have one thought: 'He's truly a foolish prince.'
