Chapter 856 - The King of Our Allies (1/2)

Shun Tao's lips twitched. Did this guy really think this was funny? ”You're thinking too much. Back then, it was me who got her involved in all of this so it was partly my fault that she was thrown out of the Nine Heavens as well. Naturally, I took a look at her scroll of fate to find out if she is doing well. If she wasn't, I might have given her a hand. That's all there is to this.”

Qiang Yan curbed his smile but the corners of his mouth were still faintly raised. ”Well, it's good if it's like that. Just imagine you were in love with her but unable to see her because she was exiled.” He gave a sigh and shook his head. ”That would truly be too pitiful.”

”Yes, yes, enough of that. What do you want to know about the Chun Feng Sect?”

”That's a good question. In fact, I can't answer it that well. You see the Chun Feng Sect currently has their eyes on the Yun Zou Sect.”

Shun Tao's brows twitched. He hadn't looked at the crown prince's scroll of fate for a few minutes so he didn't know what had happened in the last few days in the mortal realm. Don't tell him … ”Have they gotten involved in the crown prince's fate?”

Qiang Yan gave a wry smile. ”Something like that. In fact, they are after the dragon king this time.”

”Then what does this have to do with us?”

”Well, he is the king of our allies. It wouldn't do to let this situation unfold.”

Shun Tao tightened his lips. He understood where the God of War was coming from but … ”This still concerns the crown prince as well. I don't mind helping out but I can't decide on this alone. I'll have to notify the Heavenly Emperor.”

Qiang Yan sighed. He had feared as much. Well, there was a slight chance that his brother-in-law wouldn't let personal sensitivities cloud his judgment. ”Alright, let's go over then.”

Shun Tao raised his brows, got up and called one of the scribes over, asking him to go over to the Heavenly Emperor's palace and ask whether or not he would be alright with receiving him.
