Chapter 865: Chapter 865 Drawing Circles_1

It seems he has also gone mad following Lin Caisang, hasn’t he?

"So, the girl has agreed?" he asked.

"Agreed to what?"

Lin Caisang lifted her eyes, looking at Suyang.

"National Teacher, this young lady has agreed to nothing, I am only healing Young Master Su of his poison. The National Teacher’s residence has already shed so much blood for this cause, and besides, there is a Prince Lin waiting on White Blind Mountain."

"This..."

Suyang pursed his lips, remaining silent.

He naturally knew this point well; apart from that hopelessly stupid Prince Lin, who else would eagerly run off to White Blind Mountain to seek death?

The poor Emperor is still in the dark, believing that this son of his could shoulder great responsibilities in the future, having even instructed him, the National Teacher, to provide considerable support to Prince Lin in the future, which was truly laughable to the extreme.

He truly wanted to say that he would rather support his archenemy Prince Mo than assist the clueless Prince Lin.

If Prince Lin were to become the Emperor, the Wei State would become nothing more than a plaything in his hands; who could bear such a consequence?

"Moreover, everyone says White Blind Mountain is dangerous, and this young lady not only has to save Prince Lin but also others, right, National Teacher?" just when Suyang was deep in thought, he heard Lin Caisang speak once more.

"This... what does the young lady mean by that?"

Suyang furrowed his brows, finding Lin Caisang’s words baffling.

"You don’t have to save anyone else on White Blind Mountain; just bringing Prince Lin back safely will suffice," he said.

"Tsk."

Hearing his words, Lin Caisang lowered her gaze and smiled lightly.

The hand that wasn’t occupied touched a bit of tea, and she was drawing circles on the tabletop.

"The National Teacher really likes to jest. The Emperor plans to send Prince Mo to White Blind Mountain to save Prince Lin, and at this critical moment, Prince Mo has appointed this young lady to assist him. What does the National Teacher think is on Prince Mo’s mind?"

"Uh."

Suyang was choked by her words and truly found himself at a loss for a reply.

"Prince Mo must be very clear in his mind that without this young lady, with his body always on the verge of collapse, how could he possibly make it to White Blind Mountain? By that time, forget saving others; he’d be lucky to save himself," Lin Caisang said while Suyang’s face turned red with frustration.

"This young lady has to rescue Prince Lin who is stuck on White Blind Mountain and ensure Prince Mo doesn’t die on the way to saving him. To put it plainly, the Emperor’s task is not an easy one to accept. I am neither a fool nor an idiot; I can understand that much," she continued.

"Yes, yes, the young lady’s words are true."

What more could Suyang say now? He simply had to agree.

"So what does the young lady intend to do? Will you accept the decree or not?"

"Do I even have the right to refuse?" Lin Caisang counterquestioned him.

Suyang: "..."

He wanted to say, of course, she had the right to refuse. After all, she came without a trace and disappeared without a hint; who in Shaohua City could track her whereabouts?

If she just walked away and didn’t return, who could utter a word of objection, when in the end no one could even find her shadow?

Yet with his son in such a state, just starting to show improvement from the poison, what would happen to him if Lin Caisang left? From his point of view, even if it meant letting his son endure hardship on a long journey, he still hoped Lin Caisang would not refuse the decree and simply vanish.

"I’ll accept. Please, National Teacher, inform the Emperor of Wei State on my behalf that if the young lady here is to accept this decree, that’s fine, but my favor is not something anyone can expect to receive cheaply; there must be a price to pay."
