Mr. Lu smiled bitterly. “This girl is indeed extremely smart and talented, but she’s still not strong enough. Moreover, what can she do when she’s gone to Dongsang alone?”
Elder Dongfang nodded as well. “That’s right. She’s a little disappointing.”
Elder Helian objected. “Maybe Xiao Wu is behind what happened to Princess Yan Ling. She’s the best at it.”
“That’s not possible.” This time, even General Feng spoke. He smiled bitterly and said, “With Princess Yan Ling and the two top Spiritual Saints, no matter how smart Xiao Wu is, she’s still too weak to do it.”
Elder Helian gave it some thought and agreed with him.
“But we have to be careful.” General Feng frowned a little. “The Dongsang King isn’t stupid. On the contrary, he’s very smart. He’ll never wait for this to spread and affect his relations.h.i.+p with the Dayan Empire.”
Mr. Lu frowned a little. “But Princess Yan Ling has indeed died in the Dongsang Kingdom, as well as those two peak Spiritual Saints. How can the king deny that?”
General Feng asked coldly, “What if he’s trying to s.h.i.+ft the blame to someone else?”
“A scapegoat?” Everyone looked at General Feng.
Feng Xiangnan nodded. “The Dayan Empire is targeting the Junwu Empire. What if the Dongsang Kingdom uses this opportunity to blame it on us? What if they say that we’ve a.s.sa.s.sinated Princess Yan Ling and her people?” Elder Helian said, “That’s impossible. We’re not capable enough..
Feng Xiangnan said, “It’s true that we’re not capable enough, but they can always find a way to frame us. The Dayan Empire also wants to blame it on the Junwu Empire. That way, it’ll be justifiable for them to destroy us.”
“That’s impossible…”
Although Elder Helian still tried to deny it, it was obvious that he hesitated.
By then, the others had stiffened.
The Dongsang King might actually do that.
And it was very likely!
Feng Xiangnan jumped to his feet. “No, I have to report this to His Majesty. I need to go back to the imperial capital!”
The next second, Feng Xiangnan was out of sight.
In less than 15 minutes, Feng Xiangnan was in front of Emperor Wu.
Emperor Wu’s first reaction when he saw Feng Xiangnan was to ask, “Have you heard from Xiao Wu? She’s been quiet in the Dongsang Kingdom ever since she got there. There’s no news at all.”
Feng Xiangnan smiled bitterly. “No, I haven’t.”
The Junwu Empire frowned. “That girl is all by herself… Is something going to happen to her? If that’s the case, how am I going to answer to the crown prince?”
Feng Xiangnan smiled bitterly again. “No news of the girl is the best news. Your Majesty, if the Dongsang King finds out about her, he’ll have to take her hostage.”
Emperor Wu’s eyes lit up. “You’re right!”
Seeing the Junwu Empire’s bright smile, Feng Xiangnan didn’t want to disturb them.
Emperor Wu looked at Feng Xiangnan. “It’s a big deal to have you back in the imperial capital. Tell me, what happened?”
Feng Xiangnan handed in the information without another word.
Emperor Wu chuckled as he read the information, but he frowned after that.. “Princess Yan Ling and her people are dead…’
