Chapter 677 - Got It

He looked at Zhou Huailing and said with a very serious expression on his face. "Ling, you have to be very polite with the Prince from the North Qi Land, and no more arguments. If he is in a terrible temper, be tolerant! If you don"t get pushed away, he won"t ride over you! What matters is the consequence."

Zhou Huailing, who had not been very happy, became even more displeased, and his expression sank hearing what the King said.

Should he be tolerant with Xuan Lin? A Prince from the North Qi Land?!

The Saint Divine Land was the most powerful land among the four countries, and he had the Phoenix Girl as his wife, Xuan Lin was just a Prince. He was a lord who was about to become the heir to the throne, so why was he demeaned to a lower degree?

Zhou Huailing just could not understand.

He had a terrible look on his face and refused to answer the King"s words.

The Eunuch of the Qianqing Palace served Zhou Huailing tea and said with a small voice. "Watch out, Lord Ling."

Only now did Zhou Huailing become a bit more aware.

He forced a small smile. He was suddenly reminded when he caught sight of the Eunuch - yes, he was almost the heir, but he was still not the heir. Zhou Huaiyu was still in the contest with him, and he should not disgrace himself.

Although he had married the Phoenix Girl, the support from the King was the most important of all.

Zhou Huailing suddenly understood. He felt a bit wronged, but still nodded. "I will obey your order, father, it is just that I am not… that convinced."

Hearing what he said, the King showed a small smile.

Ling was still too young to get beaten down, but as long as he was obedient everything would work out.

He was still in good health, and he had no interest in raising an unruly person. That was why the docile Ling stood out among all the other sons.

He smiled. "Why? You don"t have to be convinced. We will bend for now, but that is just a one time thing, also, we are not bending down completely in this aspect either." The King showed a proud smile.

Zhou Huailing looked at his own father. He knew that something must have happened a while ago.

He hesitated and asked. "Father, what is the deal?"

"We are getting the top secret and five magical monsters from the North Qi Land with one single princess, that sounds like a good deal, doesn"t it?" The King showed a great smile. "Anyway, you can go and visit that prince"s mount, we will see what the magical monsters are like. If they are really magical monsters, we will try to obtain all the plans related to the magical monsters from that land." The King showed a tricky smile.

Zhou Huailing now finally understood everything.

That did sound like a great deal. No wonder Xuan Lin was so arrogant - he had such a heavy bargain chip!

He could not have any idea about the Phoenix Girl and Destiny Monk, could he? The King was right - they were just being belittled for now. They were going to laugh in the end.

"I understand, father." Zhou Huailing answered.

The King nodded. He told Zhou Huailing because he had married the Phoenix Girl and it was okay for him to know about that.

When they finished the conversation the King asked Zhou Huailing to go back.

He then headed directly to the Weiyang Palace.

Only Xunyang was old enough to get married. She was the only candidate left.

He had not been to the Weiyang Palace for a long while.
