Even if he restored his status and ascended the throne in the future, the power of Duke Zhen as well as the entire Duke Zhen’s Mansion was an entity that had to be courted.If Duke Zhen did not acknowledge him, even if he regained the throne, he still might not be able to securely rule over Great Zhou.
The crown prince thought for a moment and said, “There’s no need for a token of allegiance. You can’t do anything for us right now. On the contrary, I’m curious about how you found out our identities.”
“Who told you?”
Cheng Guang spread his hands, “Guessed it.”
“Guessed it?” The other’s voice rose slightly, almost implying without directly stating, Are you kidding me?!
Cheng Guang smiled and nodded.
“That’s right, guessed it.”
Cheng Guang never considered giving a serious explanation. Facing Cheng Zhihai and others, he might need to explain the source of information, but in front of the crown prince himself, such an explanation seemed to become somewhat unnecessary.
Hearing Cheng Guang’s words, the other party felt that Cheng Guang probably didn’t want to tell them.
Yet, because Cheng Guang knew their identities and didn’t reveal them to Cheng Zhihai or Emperor Zhou, he had already done them a great favor.
After a moment of silence,
The other party did not continue to press the matter.
“Ming Xian, keep an eye on this kid. I always feel there’s something off about him. If he can be killed, just kill him.”
“If he can’t be killed, he said he wants to join us, right? Then let him do some work for us.”
The other spoke frankly, suggesting that the Queen of the South Ming should take the opportunity to kill Cheng Guang if possible.
Rather than keeping a ticking time bomb that might go off at any time, the safest course of action for the crown prince was to have him killed directly.
If he could be killed, then do it; if not, then let Cheng Guang offer some remaining value.
Even the crown prince himself was not afraid of Cheng Guang exposing his true identity.
At the moment, his public identity was still King of South Ming, and even if his identity as the crown prince was uncovered, few would believe it.
In a sense, he was beyond fear.
The Queen of the South Ming acknowledged the command and exchanged a few words with the crown prince. The glow of the Crystal Ball gradually dimmed.
After speaking, she led Cheng Guang out of the secret passageway.
The Queen of the South Ming noticed that even though they had just been discussing whether to kill Cheng Guang, his complexion had not changed much; instead, he remained calm, seemingly indifferent to their conversation.
As soon as they left the secret passageway, a gleeful expression spread across Cheng Guang’s face.
The Queen of the South Ming had no clue what Cheng Guang was so happy about.
Once they had left the secret passageway, she no longer wished to deal with Cheng Guang.
This detestable cur couldn’t be killed, and now couldn’t even be touched.
He also had a range of bizarre abilities, leaving the Queen of the South Ming feeling uncomfortable just by being around him.
Especially since the effect of the Charm Eyes Divine Power was still active on her.
Looking at Cheng Guang was like looking at a beloved person, she could hardly control the urge to draw closer to him.
If her willpower hadn’t been so strong, she would already be clinging to him right now.
Agitated and upset, the Queen of the South Ming promptly drove Cheng Guang out of the mansion.
Cheng Guang hadn’t the mood to linger anway and focused his thoughts entirely on his system task.
Just then, a task completion prompt from the system rang in his mind.
The system voice was cold and emotionless, but it still made Cheng Guang feel a sense of warmth.
[Joining the King of South Ming, task completed.]
[Would you like to receive your reward?]
The reward this time was a Hell Hound, but with the word ‘hell’ added.
Cheng Guang didn’t yet know what this Hell Hound would be like.
He was somewhat eager to return to his mansion.
To claim his system reward there.
