Not long after, the sound of footsteps came from outside the tent and Xiao Ruo's handsome face appeared in front of the tent. He walked in and cupped his hands, ”Your Royal Highness, what instructions do you have for me?”

Tang Xiaotang looked at Xiao Ruo. This person was not simple. She could see through Xiao Ruo's thoughts. He did not pursue fame and fortune, he only wanted to follow a true ranker and achieve something. He only wanted to prove himself.

Such talents were the hardest to control because they were not loyal, nor did they have a high bottom line. They only submitted to the strong. If they met someone even stronger, it would be very easy for them to turn their backs on their original master.

”Tang Tang, do you think This King can trust him?” Ye Yuming asked Tang Xiaotang.

”Sure, as long as there's no one stronger than you in this world.” However, to Ye Yuming, Xiao Ruo was a very suitable advisor. His intelligence was definitely higher than Ye Yuming's, and even if he did not go all-out, he would still be able to solve many problems for him.

However, if Ye Yuming were to make him submit completely, it would probably be a waste of his strength.

”This King is somewhat unable to see through this person. What if he were to betray This King?” Tang Xiaotang understood Ye Yuming's suspicions, and knew that Xiao Ruo's voluntary surrender earlier had probably buried the suspicions in his heart.

”Worse comes to worst, you can just kill him when the time comes. It's not like he knows any martial arts.” In the past, Xiao Ruo was killed by Ye Yuming. At that time, Ye Yuming had already fallen into his trap, but at the critical moment, because he was a weak scholar who did not know any martial arts, he was killed by the strong Ye Yuming in one strike.

So this tells us not to think that simple brains are easy to deal with. In fact, in the face of absolute power, no matter how intelligent or nimble one was, one wouldn't be able to withstand a blow from a well-developed body.

”You're right.” Ye Yuming felt relieved after thinking about it. Although he did not lack strategists, Xiao Ruo was clearly not on the same level as them. Besides, the more strategists, the better!

”Xiao Ruo, you have voluntarily followed this king, do you have any requests? As long as it's within the scope This King can accept, This King will promise you that. ” Ye Yuming looked down at the man below and asked softly.

”If helping Your Highness is not a promise, but if there is only one request, would Your Highness agree to it?” Xiao Ruo bowed once more.

”Go ahead.” Ye Yuming suddenly had a bad feeling.

”If I want to ask you, your highness, to bestow your face to Ruo Ruo, that is the only thing I want.” Xiao Ruo raised his head and looked straight into Ye Yuming's eyes. His eyes were clear, and the corners of his mouth were raised. However, this caused Ye Yuming's eyes to become cold, and a cold aura to surge out from within.

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

Tang Xiaotang was a little shocked, she never thought that there would actually be someone who could see her existence, this Xiao Ruo was truly not simple.

Xiao Ruo still maintained his light smile, as if he didn't care in the slightest.

After a long while, Ye Yuming finally replied in a cold and bland voice, ”This king cannot agree to this matter. If you have any other requests, feel free to bring them up, even if you want to pay respects to the Prime Minister.”

Xiao Ruo suddenly laughed: ”If it's just a joke, please calm your anger Your Highness. If you are willing to serve the prince with all your might, do not ask for any fame or fortune. ”

”Don't worry, This King will definitely not treat you unfairly.” Ye Yuming waved his sleeves, signalling for him to leave.

Xiao Ruo clasped his hands again, then turned and left.
