"Oh, so he’s the National Master of Nanzhao Country..." Xiao Jinyu paused, then turned his head to look at Ye Suhuan with a tone of disbelief, "He is the National Master of Nanzhao Country?"

Ye Suhuan caught his astonished expression, knowing that anyone would be surprised upon hearing of the National Master of Nanzhao Country.

He chuckled lightly, "Genuine as can be."

Xiao Jinyu’s gaze turned back to Jun Moqing, clicking his tongue twice in his mind, such a young National Master~

"I had thought the revered National Master would be a white-haired old man, but I didn’t expect him to be so young. Has he already achieved immortality? To possess the power of eternal life, I never thought I’d see the National Master up close one day, I wonder if he takes disciples?"

Ye Suhuan: "..."

It’s no wonder Xiao Jinyu would say such a thing; the National Master of Nanzhao Country was shrouded in mystical rumors outside. In their eyes, the National Master had already reached enlightenment.

That was also why Nanzhao Country had always been one of the strongest nations.

Xiao Jinyu belatedly realized a serious problem, "That’s not right, if the National Master has reached enlightenment, where did the child come from? Who is Xiao Jiu?"

Ye Suhuan discovered that Xiao Jinyu and Xiao Jinyan were not just different but completely different.

He kindly reminded him, "What does Susu call the National Master?"

Xiao Jinyu answered quickly, "Grandpa."

After speaking, he froze, and then his eyes widened in disbelief, "He is my sister-in-law’s father? My sister-in-law’s father is the National Master?"

"No, isn’t my sister-in-law the daughter of the Shen Family? How did she become the National Master’s daughter?" Xiao Jinyu looked at Ye Suhuan, then suddenly had an epiphany, "Could it be that she was taken as God-daughter?"

Ye Suhuan: "..."

Seeing Ye Suhuan’s silence without getting angry, Xiao Jinyu continued to marvel, "Sister-in-law is so amazing; even the National Master was dealt with by her. No wonder the Crown Prince brother fell into her hands."

Ye Suhuan: "..."

When Xiao Jinyu saw the sudden appearance of a... beast, he clicked his tongue twice, "The National Master is so incredible, to cast spells, huh. To conjure up such a big... tiger, and Susu is also amazing for having the courage to touch it."

Ye Suhuan: "..."

Xiao Jinyu sized up Ye Suhuan, "I find you very familiar; who are you?"

After a long silence, Ye Suhuan spoke somberly, "The Third Prince of Nanzhao."

"Why haven’t I heard about Nanzhao sending anyone over?..." Xiao Jinyu suddenly realized, "You came in with the Crown Prince brother, didn’t you? The Crown Prince brother used to be a hostage in Nanzhao, so you must be good friends, right?"

Ye Suhuan’s voice was somewhat cold, "Who’s good friends with him?"

Xiao Jinyu was somewhat puzzled, "Aren’t you?"

Ye Suhuan looked at Xiao Jinyu with a smile that did not seem like a smile, "Would you be good friends with a love rival?"

"Of course not, I wouldn’t be polite to anyone coveting my wife." Having said that, Xiao Jinyu froze, then his gaze shifted dramatically towards Ye Suhuan, "You fancy my sister-in-law?"

"I grew up with Xiao Jiu as childhood sweethearts; it’s Xiao Jinyan who stole the love," Ye Suhuan replied through gritted teeth.

Xiao Jinyu was about to retort when he sensed something amiss, "How could my sister-in-law have been your childhood sweetheart? Have you got it wrong?"

Ye Suhuan, with rare patience, recounted Xiao Jiu’s life story, and along with it, how Xiao Jinyan snatched the love.

After listening, Xiao Jinyu felt like he was listening to a storyteller, because it was too coincidental, too magical.

"So that’s how it is."

He patted Ye Suhuan on the shoulder, "My sister-in-law and the Crown Prince brother already have two children, and the second child may soon be confirmed. You should probably move on."

Ye Suhuan: "..."

Xiao Jinyan headed straight to the East Palace, so the Emperor received the news a bit later. Because he was busy with state affairs, he didn’t go to the East Palace immediately, nor did he summon the Crown Prince to see him right away.

Nobody in the palace knew that aside from the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, the National Master and the Third Prince of Nanzhao Country had returned as well.

When Xiao Jinyu arrived at the Imperial Study Room, the Emperor was still busy.

Xiao Jinyu stepped forward to pay respects, "Father Emperor, the Crown Prince brother has arrived."

"I just found out. Let me finish my work, and I will summon him," the Emperor said, then added, "Have you been to see them?"

"Of course, your son came to the Imperial Study Room precisely because he had been there."

Xiao Jinyu walked up to the imperial desk, looking at the pile of memorials on the table, clicking his tongue twice in his mind, thankful he didn’t have to be Emperor; otherwise, he’d be the one working overtime to go through memorials in the near future.

The Emperor asked, "Susu must have been very happy to see her father king and mother queen, right?"
