85 Living Target 1 (1/2)
”What do you suggest from this? And how do I know that after this gesture of mine you will support me whole-heartedly?” Zhao Ying narrowed his eyes against Zhang Wu Ji as he speaks his suspicion in this matter. It was normal in the subject of trust between two people, especially when they only know each other for a single day.
”My prince, Wu Ji have no suggestion on how he can convince a person to trust him, but may I be daring enough to mention about this? Do my prince think that without your support, I will fail in my plan to control the whole Seven Star County?” Zhang Wu Ji did not try to convince Zhao Ying, but instead, asking him another question.
”You!” Zhao Ying is speechless! Even a fool can guess what Zhang Wu Ji wanted to say!
This is because Zhang Wu Ji doesn't need the Ninth Prince's support to achieve what he wanted to do! The only thing he's suggesting something like this is to speed up the process instead of wasting more time to plan his steps! Zhao Ying's approach to him wasn't a significant factor he has to consider!
”Wu Ji afraid that I will have to mention this matter as well. I never agreed to become your subordinate in the first place. Even if the cooperation between us started, it should be a partnership and not complete authority. I believe, with my ability in establishing this Apprentice Hall, my word is convincing enough for my prince to understand.” he added.
Zhang Wu Ji's next sentence forced Zhao Ying to accept the fact he wasn't too influential to disrupt anything at this moment. In fact, Zhang Wu Ji's current position is far more influential than Zhao Ying from many different points of view.
Furthermore, the Ninth Prince is only an Inner Qi Warrior in his 18th Stage, where compared to his eight other royal brother and sisters, most of them are either in their Inner Qi Master Stage, with his two eldest Royal Brothers in their Inner Qi Lord Stage.
And if this cooperation between the two of them began, will the faction supporting his second royal brother, also the culprit that injured his master before the Counties Gathering stopped them from threatening their lord? Worst of all, this second royal brother of Zhao Ying is the biggest supporter of all the action behind Upper South Merchant Corporation and Jie's Clan!
Zhao Ying knows this fact. After considering it, he decided to share this news with Zhang Wu Ji to explain his initial impression towards the Seven Star County. After he shared the information with Zhang Wu Ji, the master senior did not react as he expected.
”So... The culprit is actually Second Prince of the Kingdom... This makes everything easier to manage. If that's the case, I will temporarily agree to cooperate. All I ask in the future is only two request.”
”First of all, if we managed to get the position of the Crown Prince, I want to handle the second prince privately.” Zhang Wu Ji stated his first request for his cooperation with the Ninth Prince.
”Granted. Having people to handle these loose end like family members is better than doing personally.” Zhao Ying agreed with the first request without the need of consideration.
”As for the second request. I want to swallow the whole Southern State myself. Seven Star Sect will be the main sect for the southern state, with us being the person in charge to manage the smaller establishments. And at that time, let's agree with the yearly tributes at that time.” he completed the detail of his second request.
”Granted as well. This request is similar to most of the people recruited by my other royal brother and sisters. In this southern State, the second, ninth, and eleventh royal princes are focusing on strengthening our support here.”
”I believe that based on my eleventh brother's background and Fourth Royal Concubine, he will receive the full support from all counties in the Middle Southern State. I'm sure my second royal brother will focus on this Upper Southern State because of the close proximity to the Imperial County.”
”So, will you help me in my path to obtain the position of the crown prince?” Zhao Ying questioned the master senior for the last time.
”Yes,” he answered.
”Great. As for now, let me grant you with my Prince Token to assist you in your approach. With that token in your hand, I believe most of the faction will retreat.” Zhao Ying mentioned the benefits of holding that piece of Ninth Prince Token.
”My prince, can you share with Wu Ji where you're heading next?” Zhang Wu Ji cupped his hand together as he questioned his partner.
”Heavenly Sword Sect, Black City Armored Forces, and then returning to the capital.” Zhao Ying replied.
”Then I will bother my prince no longer. Please Expect the Seven Star County to bear the flag of the ninth prince before the end of this year!” Zhang Wu Ji said.
After the conversation, each of them went towards their own way.

”Ou!!!” the Silver Horn Bear is wandering around.
It was only a simple nap! How can his master go missing without him noticing? Even the gigantic Iron bird vanishes, leaving him alone in this Ma Hua City.
The Silver Horn Bear continued to wander until he remembered something.
”The home is on the Southwestern of this continent, as long I follow that direction, I will reach home! Master, I'm coming back to look for you!” the Silver Horn Bear charged into the forest according to its sense of direction in hope to reach home earlier.
”ROAR?”
”Why did that big group of human is surrounding the two female humans? The two female humans look familiar? Her hand, her hair, she's lady cooked meat! And she! She's the one with fish! They are masters! What you all want to do? Don't spoil my food source!”
Armed with the intention to protect his food source, Xiao Xiong charged into the group of bandits and attacked them. Although the group of bandits is armed, it does not mean they're ready to fight against a Warrior Tier Wild Beast like Silver Horn Bear.
”ROAR!!!” the loud roar pierced the ears of everyone including a few Silver Carapace Bees from afar. But none of them realized that the meaning behind that roar.
”FOOD!” that's what its mean.
