Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. Since they didnt treat him as their family members, should he treat them as one and let himself be used for his entire life?
He was not really a person of this era and naturally had quite a different vision when talking about this matter. In Long Qian Xings opinion, those who were called family had to act like one if they wanted to be treated as one.
If they didnt even treat the other party as their family members, did they expect others to treat them as one?
You can be kind to others, but you have to be wise enough so that you wont end up being used by other. Long Qian Xing smiled faintly, yet there was a trace of coldness that seemed to be seeped out of his bone.
Song Chuan was silent.
His family members were all very simple and loving. He knew very well that he was lucky to be able to have that kind of family. In contrast, he knew very well what had happened between Long Qian Xing and his sister.
The two of them were like fire and water.
They couldnt stay in one place without trying to destroy the other party.
Even if the two of them might be close when they were young, their current relationship reflected none of it.
At least, that was what Song Chuan could see.
And how Long Qian Xing would want to settle his sister was something that even he didnt know. Naturally, Song Chuan would not be so tactless to ask this question either.
Stay low for now. I dont need you to be too eye catching and caught in eye of the storm. Long Qian Xing turned around and left.
Yes, Young Master, Song Chuan muttered as he watched Long Qian Xing left. He rubbed his temple as he began to wonder just what did Long Qian Xing experienced to be able to become that cold and ruthless.
But when hes facing Young Miss Nan, hes not that cold.
Feeling that he had thought about something inappropriate, Song Chuan immediately erased all thoughts from his mind. He didnt want to be like Lin Yuan and ended up crossing Long Qian Xing which would earn him a brutal beating.
At this time, Long Qian Xing greeted several other officials before entering the inner area and headed to the side hall. He knew that Emperor Yang Zhou would stay in this side hall from time to time after he had finished the morning meeting.
Your Majesty, Young Commander Long is here.
Let him in.
The door opened and Long Qian Xing strode in. He arched his eyebrows when he saw the row of books placed in front of Emperor Yang Zhou. His friend didnt have it easy at all and had to settle a lot of matters.
I thought you wouldnt come until its late at night. Emperor Yang Zhou glanced at Long Qian Xing and tapped the table. What is it?
I would like to try something. Long Qian Xing took out a token from his pocket and placed it on the table. He pushed it towards Emperor Yang Zhou in order to allow him to look at it clearly. But it could be a bit dangerous.
With my action today, how much dangerous would it be? Emperor Yang Zhou only took a glance before pushing the token back in Long Qian Xings direction. You can do what you think is right. Ill follow your arrangement.
Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows. Youre basically putting your life in my hand with that, Emperor Yang Zhou.
I have already done that so many times. What adding another one would count? Emperor Yang Zhou knew that he could trust Long Qian Xing because the two of them had covered for each other for so many times. His life had already been in danger a lot and it was Long Qian Xing who helped him.
He knew that even if it was dangerous, Long Qian Xing would not try to harm him.
If Long Qian Xing wanted to, he could kill Emperor Yang Zhou many times in the past. There were many times when he was weak and it was Long Qian Xing who covered for him.
The debt of life had accumulated so much.
By this time, Emperor Yang Zhou knew that Long Qian Xing was basically trying to protect him and helped him to get the real power in Fei Yang Kingdom. Even if the other party had his own reason, Emperor Yang Zhou knew that Long Qian Xing is his ally.
In this large schemes of power, having trustable allies were very important.
In that case, Ill send my men to try calling them. Long Qian Xing kept the token back. Whether theyll come or not is unknown.
Emperor Yang Zhou tapped the table. Not yours?
No.
But you trust them?
If they want to kill me back then, they can. Long Qian Xing could still remember the time at the forest. At that time, he basically brushed past death when that needle passed him. If he had taken another step forward, he knew that his life would have been over.
I have reached an agreement with them.
Emperor Yang Zhou furrowed his eyebrows. The number of people who could kill Long Qian Xing was not that many. Even if there were a lot of talented and powerful generals from other kingdoms, it wouldnt be easy to defeat Long Qian Xing.
At the worst case scenario, Long Qian Xing could still find a method to run away and retreat.
But his words sounded as if Long Qian Xings life was at the other partys hand. This made him reevaluate the worth of this supposedly small organization.
How much do you know about them? Emperor Yang Zhou asked quietly.
Not much but enough to keep eyes on their movements. Long Qian Xing would not try it out if he didnt feel that the other party had the power to do this mission. Not to mention, he did need all the help he could get without alarming any parties who were privy of this news.
For this reason, he would rather take the gamble.
