Chapter 203: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind
Dan Fei’s clever eyes looked at Jiang Chen, a faint smile on her face, “Do you think that just because you and the lordmaster think the sa Chen rubbed his nose, “You’ve already said it for , I don’t really care who the Crown Prince is or who the king is However, I’uest of the fourth prince after all, and should do so Crown Prince is better than Ye Dai being in that position, no?”
Jiang Chen’s voice suddenly paused, “How couess it would happen a long tio?”
Dan Fei displayed a s tio The talk about deciding the Crown Prince’s position early next year was actually a purposeful leak authorized by the lordmaster He wanted to make use of this in order to observe and study everyone’s reactions”
“This exa, isn’t it a bit difficult to stop it now?” Jiang Chen s is under control” Dan Fei smiled in response
“What makes you say that? They’re about to take action Once the slaughter starts, who kno many will make it out alive?”
“If only one es unscathed, then Ye Rong is the Crown Prince It’s that simple”
“Does this o?” Jiang Chen was a bit surprised
Dan Fei shook her head and s since decided on Ye Rong This conclusion was only reached after the Skylaurel Kingdoiven to you at the lordmaster’s birthday banquet”
“Eh, I co Chen was a bit ashales between the princes at all Could it be that he could sho the Crown Prince was, iving out a rando a difficult question? This… this was too ridiculous!
“Don’t be doubtful, the lordh he hasn’t spoken clearly, hisChen at their side will obtain the position of Crown Prince”
“The king is able to agree to such terms? Can he sit idly by while his sons kill each other?”
Dan Fei sighed “Jiang Chen, if I were to say that you’re naive, you’re actually slippery beyond belief If I were to say that you’re sly and crafty, you’re sometimes quite naive as well To st thes? You even know that the spirit apes will fight and kill each other such that only one is left alive in the end Do you really think that the rules of survival in the hoentle than those of the spirit creature world?”
Jiang Chen sly This was true
Weren’t there rudoainst the previous Crown Prince Eastern Jun, only taking his throne after the latter’s death? Given that that existed already, it made sense that that sidoed into this matter, and the entire Guo family had suffered a precipitous decline as a result and had fallen into decay
If Ye Rong were superior enough to walk out alive frole situation, that meant he could withstand trials, and that he had the potential to be king, no th, breadth of vision, or luck
In contrast, if he died froh his talents outshone those above hih fortune and luck to become a monarch
They would then have no other choice than the second best The law of the jungle would deter
When his thoughts finally flowed s Chen smiled, “Sister Dan Fei, I can’t sit idly by since I’ve run into this I’uest of the fourth prince after all When one’s master is huave a winsome smile, “Don’t you put on that kind of act with me Do you think I can’t tell that you aren’t one of those subjects with high principles?”
Jiang Chen strode forward quickly on thequickly thereafter “You’rediscovered and silenced by thereat beauty? I believe that, even though they’ve lost all judge to you!”
“You overestimate my allure Women are but the decorations of life in the eyes of men How many emperors from ancient ti Chen laughed heartily “No wonder you speak so bluntly to those princes You’ve long since seen right through the nonsense Jiang Chen, tellfrom me?”
“Do I really need to tell you that? Of course I a Chen smiled “Don’t you worry, I’ll be able to find them one step before they’re able to discover me”
He’d anticipate the enemy’s movements, and discover traces of the other one step before they discovered hi Chen was so confident, she couldn’t find it within herself to doubt hi with confidence
Jiang Chen didn’t follow behind Ye Dai and the others Rather, he speedily headed to the southeast
Since he knew that Ye Rong and the others were around fifty li to the southeast, Jiang Chen naturally wouldn’t tarry, and made for the mountain valley with full speed
Ye Dai and the others would still have toChen was quite confident that he could make it to theChen and Dan Fei made it to the mountain valley after only fifteen minutes
There was a scout of the first prince’s at the entrance theChen took Dan Fei in a circle past the scout’s eyes and ears, and snuck into thein to meet up with them or…?”
“Let’s not find the the enemy If the fourth prince kneere here, his fore, and it’d be easily picked up by the scouts”
Dan Fei was lost in thought as she nodded
