Chapter 311: The Future Emperor of Great Tang!

”What are you laughing at?”

Wang Chong only found the situation ridiculous. Had he unintentionally said a very funny joke? Furthermore, Marquess Yi's gaze... was making him really uncomfortable.

”Haha. Brat, you really don't know the reason why so many ladies applied to your Deflecting Blade Manor?” Marquess Yi chuckled.

Those words left Wang Chong astounded. This was exactly what Wang Chong had been puzzled over, and it seemed like Marquess Yi knew something about the matter.

Curious, Wang Chong asked. ”Marquess Yi, you know something about it?”

”Your expression is really too funny! Hahahaha!” Grabbing her stomach, Marquess Yi burst into another peal of laughter.

”Marquess Yi, hurry up and speak! What is going on?” Seeing how Marquess Yi kept the suspense, Wang Chong anxiously urged her.

”Hahaha! Why don't you try guessing?” The gaze which Marquess Yi was looking at Wang Chong with became even more peculiar.

”How in the world am I to know...” Wang Chong clenched his fists in frustration. Marquess Yi's action of stoking his curiosity while refusing to reveal the truth made him very tempted to punch her, but unfortunately, she just had to be far stronger than him.

Just as he was grinding his teeth in anger, a thought suddenly came to his head.

Staring at Marquess Yi, Wang Chong asked, ”Second Sister! ...Is this the doing of Second Sister?”

A person who could stir up a huge farce and generate the ”you should know” expression on Marquess Yi, there was only one that Wang Chong could think of… his Second Sister, Wang Zhuyan!

And as though responding to Wang Chong's doubts, Marquess Yi's laughter crescendoed. Grabbing her stomach, she could hardly keep herself upright anymore.

No matter how slow Wang Chong was, it was clear that he was spot-on.

Second Sister!

To think that his Second Sister was really involved in this matter!

”Hahaha, this is really going to be the death of me. Do you know what that fellow, Zhuyan, said?”

Marquess Yi didn't think much of it initially, but after seeing Wang Chong's expression, she suddenly found this pair of cousins really interesting.

”Your cousin let out word that the Wang Clan is intent on finding a wife for you, and anyone who joins the Deflecting Blade Manor will be on the list of candidates. That is the reason why so many ladies from the Three Great Training Camps applied here,” Marquess Yi unveiled the mystery.

”What?!”

Hearing that answer, Wang Chong was astonished. He knew that the disproportionate number of ladies did seem suspicious, and those words that they spoke were extremely unnatural as well, having nothing to do with the spirit vein at all. To think that this would be the reason!

”What kind of joke is Second Sister pulling?!” Wang Chong really panicked.

Was this a joking matter? Wang Chong could tell that it was just a prank, but outsiders may not think so. They would really take Wang Zhuyan's words for truth.

He knew that his Second Sister wasn't one to idle around, but he didn't expect her to create such a huge mess for him!

Wang Chong could already imagine the sight of his Second Sister laughing triumphantly on the peak of Longwei Training Camp.

”You should direct whatever you want to say to your Second Sister, I'll go in and take a look at the name list. Now that you speak of it, there are indeed quite a few ladies whom I want to pull into here. I don't wish to see just stinky men when I enter the Deflecting Blade Manor.”

Still chuckling, Marquess Yi left the dumbfounded Wang Chong behind and walked into the Deflecting Blade Manor.

A dark streak flashed across Wang Chong's face. Despite being mocked by Marquess Yi, he couldn't find a word to retort.

Isn't Second Sister causing trouble for me?

After giving it some thought, Wang Chong felt that this matter couldn't be ignored. Thus, he returned to his study, wrote an exceptionally stern letter, and had it delivered to his Second Sister. Only then did he step out of the Deflecting Blade Manor and enter the woods.

The War of the Princes was no light matter. For the time being, the First Prince and Second Prince had appeared, and taking into account the seer who divined his spirit vein, a total of three princes had already gotten involved in this matter.

Wang Chong knew that a huge wave of princes would continue to appear to seek his spirit vein, and perhaps even forcefully drag Wang Clan to stand on the same front as them.

In such a crucial period, it was imperative for Wang Chong to calm down and consider his next course of action.

First and foremost, he had to stay out of places where others would expect him to be, such as the training camp and the Deflecting Blade Manor.

For this, the woods was the perfect place to calm down and think.

Executing the Phantom Steps, Wang Chong swiftly disappeared.

------

The depths of the mountain forest were filled with thorns. Other than birds and beasts, very few people would venture into here. Yet, two figures were currently strolling in its midst.

The young man was in his late teens. He had a tall, slim stature and an extremely exquisite face. He possessed a natural grace of nobility, and every gesture of his harnessed both elegance and authority.

However, his face was pale, and he didn't seem to be in a good physical condition.

Walking alongside the young man was a servant in his forties. He was lightly-dressed in a brown shirt, and his face was exceptionally ugly, especially with the wretched expression on his face.

However, what that stood out the most about him was his neck.

Despite being a man, he had no Adam's apple!

Even though a servant should be subservient, he seemed to be very annoyed at the moment.

”Uncle Jing, I have already gone to the extent of hiding here. Do you think that big brother, second brother, and the others will let me off? Father should probably forget about me, right?”

The dashing young man walked along a path under the support of the servant.

There shouldn't have been a path in this thorny forest, but after months of strolling in this area, he had forcefully stepped out a small path here.
