Chapter 961: Interests Matter

“How is it, Heir?” Junyi asked concernedly, when he saw Zhou Huailing.

Zhou Huailing was in a good mood, so when he came into the study, he sat down and drank some tea.

As a matter of fact, when he was in the court, he was already sure what his father meant, but he still came to Junyi’s side, intending to tell him what he had heard.

In this way, he could hear from Junyi regarding whether what he had understood was accurate. On the other hand, he should also tell Junyi about Destiny Monk to see if he had some other ideas that could help him.

He had too few people to trust and hire right now.

Gu Zhenkang, who was working at the Ministry of Personnel, did not seem to be of any help. He was not capable enough at all, so he did not want to rely on his father-in-law. As for Gu Yunhe… he was even worse. He messed up everything he entrusted him with.

He had also hired some strategists before, but none of them were even up to the standard of Xie Yan!

So right now, only a few people, including Junyi, were able to offer help. That was why he decided to tell him about Destiny Monk.

He sipped the tea and said, “Father told me that as an Heir, I will get whatever I need, and I don’t have to pay attention to Lord Huai.”

“…”

…

“Also, the Destiny Monk was seen in Lingzhou, though I don’t think that you know who the Destiny Monk…”

“I do.” Junyi replied.

Zhou Huailing was surprised. He had thought about explaining to Junyi about the Destiny Monk, yet unexpectedly, he knew who that man was!

“Destiny Monk, as his name says, is the only person who knows about destiny in this world,” Junyi said with a serious look on his face. “He knows what lies beyond the four countries, and he knows how to get help from Heaven.”

“…”

“My master told me about this, but few people have a clear knowledge of it, and even fewer know what is really going on. Not everything is real in this world, but Destiny Monk will tell us the correct and true answer.”

“…”

“Heir, I believe that you should organize your own team to conduct a search for the Destiny Monk, before the King does,” Junyi said seriously.

Zhou Huailing suddenly felt as if he had just had an incredible idea.

No one had reminded him about this in the past, so he kept waiting for the King to find the Destiny Monk for him. He had never expected that if he found the man first and understood what was going on, then he could make an even better plan for himself.

No one had any idea of what the Destiny Monk knew about the Heavenly Dao.

No one had any idea of what was happening in the future, for everything could be changed.

“Junyi, you are totally right. We have to find the Destiny Monk before the King does. Interests and himself are what father cares about, rather than me. I may be his most important son, yet I am not as important as him!” Zhou Huailing said emotionally.

After all, his father seemed to be very attached to the Queen and his Eighth Brother, and he might not be an exception, after all.

“Junyi, I have an idea…”
