C82 Deal (1/2)
Returning to the Xuan Ye Imperial Palace, Luo Chen's injuries had improved, but Shangguan Wan did not live a carefree life.
Because she still needed to find the Aral Dawn Wood.
When Nangong Yu saw how much trouble she had to put in, he couldn't bear to do so.
Imperial study.
”Did the emperor come to find this humble subject to investigate the matter regarding the Aral Dawn Wood?” Qin Fei's body was still very weak. It was his body that was injured by Luo Chen, but his heart.
It was hard to cure him, especially since his disciple had given it back to him.
Qi He, is it all Master's fault, or are you wrong? Could it be that you won't stop even if you're injured by that person?
”The Imperial Advisor knows everything. Please answer.” In the past, even though Qin Fei was a cold and aloof person, he wouldn't cause a ruckus in the harem. But now, for the sake of Qi He's matter, he actually went to find Luo Chen to settle the score, and even involved Shangguan Wan. However, seeing that there were losses on all sides, he didn't care anymore and pretended that nothing had happened, maintaining his calm on the surface.
Qin Fei closed his eyes, ”To tell you the truth, this humble subject does not know where the Aral Dawn Tree is. That's an ancient divine object, and its traces are hard to find. ”
”Does the Imperial Advisor really not know?” Nangong Yu patiently asked.
He believed that Qin Fei was no mediocre person. If he was mediocre, he wouldn't have been conferred the title of State Grandmaster.
The only problem was that the current State Grandmaster was in a foul mood.
”Seriously.” Qin Yue's answer was without any trace of the attitude he should have towards a Sovereign King.
Nangong Yu stood with his hands behind his back. A cold light appeared in his eyes as he calmly spoke, ”Qin Fei, you really didn't know?”
The Emperor repeated the question, calling out his name for the first time.
Qin Fei had always been unfazed by humiliation and was not afraid of any threats.
”This humble subject does not know.” A very positive answer.
As a sovereign, facing his disobedient subjects, he could only put down all of his worries to clear his mind.
”Someone come!” ”If the Imperial Advisor goes on a rampage, let's beat him up!” Originally, when he had injured Shangguan Wan last time and he had not pursued the matter, he had endured in silence. But now, he realized that sometimes, the tolerance of looking at the bigger picture was to indulge in his indulgence.
He couldn't bear it any longer.
Just as he was about to step forward and take Qin Fei, he suddenly smiled contemptuously and raised his hand to signal the guards to stop. ”Your Majesty, this humble subject might as well make a deal with you.”
His provocative tone was like a joke, but Nangong Yu knew that Qin Fei never made fun of his.
”Trade?” Nangong Yu's interest was piqued.
”This humble subject can tell you the whereabouts of the Aral Dawn Wood, but you must agree to one of my conditions.”
In this world, how many people were qualified to negotiate terms with the emperor? With the exception of Shangguan Wan, he was probably the only one.
The first thing that came to Nangong Yu's mind was Qi He, ”You're not asking me to give you Qi He?”
Thinking back to everything that had happened in the past, wasn't Qin Fei doing it for the sake of Qi He?
Wei and that silly girl were really lucky to be able to obtain the love of the Imperial Advisor.
Qin Fei was in his thirties and had yet to get married. It was likely because of his only disciple that he had such a firm moral integrity.
Qin Fei was stunned for a moment. Even the Emperor could tell, but that silly girl couldn't see it clearly. She thought he had been harming her.
However, nothing he said now was of any use. From the moment Qi He had stabbed him in the back with his sword, he had completely given up.
