Chapter 086: The Crown Prince Exchanges for a Cat
Xie Yao was embraced by Yang Chen, and immediately, a wave of happiness surged within her. Listening to Yang Chen's heartbeat, she said, "Is this considered a futile effort? You’re out now, doesn’t that mean you have me in your heart?"
"Who wouldn’t like an outstanding girl like you, who is hard to find even with a lantern?" Yang Chen replied with a smile.
"Then do you love me?" Xie Yao asked. "I know I can't compare to Miss Roxie, the second Vice Captain. I have no assets to make you love me."
Yang Chen extended his right index finger and gently pressed it against her lips, saying, "It’s not about having assets or not. People are not inherently nobler than others; as long as one works hard, they can achieve a status that others admire. I like a girl not for her background or how much help she can provide me; what I want is a heart that truly loves me and belongs to me. However, I can't do that myself."
"I’m very fickle; when I see beautiful girls, I chase after one after another. But selfishly, I want all of you to accept me. No matter if you can accept it or not, this is just how I am—unique! I won’t change anything for anyone."
Looking at the resolute man before her, Xie Yao knew that her heart completely belonged to him and could never be taken back. She extended her right hand and touched Yang Chen's face, firmly saying, "In this life, I have determined that you are my man!" After speaking, she stood on her tiptoes and lightly kissed the corner of Yang Chen's mouth before fleeing like the wind.
"If one day you surpass me, Yao'er, you can do as you wish." Sky left behind this crisp remark.
Yang Chen touched the kiss mark on his mouth and helplessly said, "This little girl."
Then he returned to Listening Wind Tower to adjust himself properly. Early the next morning, Yang Chen bid farewell to Crimson Dragon and Silver Moon. Among the four Vice Captains, only Liu Xian remained at Silvermoon City; the other three were dispatched to deal with various Lords along the way and were responsible for relaying intelligence back to Crimson Dragon.
After Liu Xian sent Yang Chen to the City Gate, he clasped his fists and said, "Brother Yang, without further ado, take care on your journey. If you need anything, just send a message over; even if it means sending me Liu Xian into a mountain of blades or a sea of fire."
"Brother Liu is being too serious," Yang Chen respectfully replied.
"Not serious at all. Without you, my life would have long been given to the King of Hell," Liu Xian insisted.
"Since Brother Four is so persistent, then I won't decline. However, if Brother Four encounters any trouble, feel free to send word. Although my strength is humble, I still want to do my part," Yang Chen responded.
"Good, brother. Take care!" Liu Xian said.
"Take care," thirteen people said in unison before swiftly departing. After they left, Crimson Dragon and Silver Moon appeared beside Liu Xian.
"Boss, Sister-in-law," Liu Xian said respectfully.
"The golden dragon is not merely a creature in the pond; when it meets the winds and clouds, it transforms into a dragon. This chaotic world is his opportunity to shed his ordinary self and become a dragon. Whether he succeeds or not depends on his own choices," Crimson Dragon said meaningfully.
"Dear husband, were you testing Yang Chen all along?" Silver Moon asked in surprise.
"Pretty much. He stirred up trouble between our two families, not knowing it played right into Uncle Ying Tian's hands. Uncle Ying Tian has long wanted to eliminate the Three Lords. However, the ones he mentioned, Fan Buzhi and Fan Buchen, are two major troubles," Crimson Dragon explained, looking very different from the boisterous Crimson Dragon everyone knew.
"What does my husband plan to do?" Silver Moon inquired. "It's impossible to grant titles and lands, so let's demote them to commoners. They are failures and should bear the consequences," Crimson Dragon said coldly.
"Boss, what are you talking about? I see your lips moving but hear no sound," Liu Xian asked.
"Ha ha, Liu Xian, I have matters to attend to and couldn't come to see Brother Yang. It's truly regrettable. Sigh. But it's fine; there will be another chance to meet next time, right?" Crimson Dragon laughed heartily.
"Yes, looking forward to the miracle of meeting again," Liu Xian replied with a smile.
"Wait a minute." After leaving Silvermoon City, they walked for over ten minutes according to the map and sensed something unusual.
"What’s wrong, Young Master?" Xie Yao asked. Yang Chen stood still, furrowing his brow and said:
"Something's off. I have a life-and-death bond with Crimson Dragon, but at the very least, basic etiquette dictates he should have come to see me off; it’s necessary to send a message through someone. Why did he skip both? No, no. Or is it that he deliberately didn’t come to see me off? Is he trying to hint at something? Heavenly Gift, what do you think...?"
"The ways of heaven are hidden and difficult to speak of. Young Master, why not speculate a bit?" Heavenly Gift replied.
"Crimson Dragon, grandson of the Jia Shi Dynasty’s Duke of National Defense Red Tianba, the legitimate eldest grandson. Chitianba has ambitions... wait, why do I feel something is off?" Yang Chen muttered to himself: "Heavenly Gift, repeat what I just said."
"Crimson Dragon, grandson of the Jia Shi Dynasty’s Duke of National Defense Red Tianba, the legitimate eldest grandson. Red..."
"Stop." Yang Chen interrupted Heavenly Gift, saying, "Ah, I understand now."
"It’s his identity!" Both Yang Chen and Heavenly Gift exclaimed simultaneously. "Oh? What did you figure out, Heavenly Gift?" Yang Chen asked.
"If the Young Master has a question, I will answer it. The phenomenon caused by you that day probably left no one unconvinced, including the emperor of the Jia Shi Empire, Fan Ying Tian. Not completely believing it, at least three parts of him do. However, when an emperor discovers that one of his subjects harbors ambitions for power, he will naturally keep a close watch on them; hence, Crimson Dragon is..."
"Exactly. Your speculation aligns closely with my thoughts. But have you considered the schemes between Fan Ying Tian and Chitianba?" Yang Chen inquired.
"Sorry, Young Master, I'm dull-witted," Heavenly Gift said.
"Today two foxes work together; they rely on wit rather than strength. Everyone in this world is a pawn; the land of Xuanzhou is merely a chessboard. What a clever strategy; I must admire it, and the stakes are not trivial."
"Young Master, I understand now." While the others remained puzzled, Heavenly Gift spoke up.
"Such a grand gesture. I finally understand why he will be the first to fight." Yang Chen said suddenly.
"Young Master, your words reveal the secrets of heaven, and the celestial signs are showing new messages," Heavenly Gift said.
"Tell me more."
"The younger sister of Fan Ying Tian from the Jia Shi Dynasty, Fan Yueming, has united with Chijin Long to give birth to a daughter. And the mother of Crimson Dragon is..."
"What is it? Why aren't you finishing?" Thunderous Movement asked anxiously.
"It is the Empress of the Jia Shi Dynasty, whose father is the current emperor of the Jia Shi Empire, Fan Ying Tian. Right?" Yang Chen pondered and said.
"This... this is too unbelievable," Thunderous Movement said skeptically.
"I..." Xie Yao said, at a loss for words. The others all looked towards Heavenly Gift, who nodded noncommittally.
Yang Chen sighed and said, "What a clever move to switch the prince with a cat. Such a profound scheme, Fan Ying Tian? A true schemer. Ha ha, it seems that both Qixing Sect and Tian You Sect are not peaceful either."
"Young Master, what do you mean by that?" Heavenly Gift asked in confusion.
"Aren't you good at calculations? Why don't you calculate it?" Yang Chen said playfully as he looked at Heavenly Gift.
