Recalling Feng Wuchen’s earlier troubled expression, Ling Su couldn’t help but ask, "Since a solution has been found for the plague, why do you still seem so worried? Is there something else troubling you? If there is, just tell me, and if I can help, I certainly will."
Hearing this, Feng Wuchen felt a surge of joy inside, but on the outside, he showed a bitter smile.
"I don’t really have any worries; I just feel so useless compared to my brothers and the Crown Prince!"
"No wonder Father has always favored my younger brother as his successor. It’s no surprise Father looks down on me when I can’t even help with something as significant as the plague."
After speaking, he again showed a look of resigned despair.
Ling Su, after hearing Feng Wuchen’s words, immediately understood.
"You want to be Emperor?" Ling Su said.
Feng Wuchen, while carefully observing Ling Su’s expression, organized his words and nodded, "It would be a lie to say I don’t want to, but in truth, it’s more about not being willing to accept it!"
"Clearly, I am also Father’s son, but in his eyes, I am inferior to the Crown Prince everywhere."
Upon hearing this, Ling Su not only didn’t see Feng Wuchen as ambitious but felt that such feelings made him more genuine.
After all, she could understand his feelings. Dıscover more novels at novel{f}ire.net
Just like her, she had worked hard on her cultivation, yet others would always mention her aunt to her, saying how excellent her aunt was when she was the Holy Maiden.
So Ling Su quickly said to the melancholy Feng Wuchen, "If you want to be Emperor, I can help you."
After all, the elders had long predicted that Feng Wuchen had the look of an Emperor and would become one sooner or later.
Helping him now was just going along with destiny, not doing anything out of the ordinary.
When Feng Wuchen heard Ling Su’s words, he immediately felt assured in his heart.
But on the surface, he wore a hesitant expression, "Can you really help me? But I heard that those who cultivate are not supposed to interfere too much in worldly affairs. Wouldn’t helping me adversely affect you? If it would, then let’s forget it..."
See Feng Wuchen so concerned for her safety instead of agreeing immediately; Ling Su felt even more at ease, believing she hadn’t misjudged him.
So she smiled at Feng Wuchen, "Don’t worry; you already have the destiny to be an Emperor. I’m merely acting in accordance with the will of heaven. It won’t negatively impact me."
Feng Wuchen’s eyes widened suddenly, his heart pounding.
He indeed had the destiny to be an Emperor!
He knew he was meant to be Emperor.
But soon, he calmed down, then gave a sigh of relief and said to Ling Su, "That’s good. If it would harm you, I would rather give up the throne for your safety." After speaking, he showed a slightly embarrassed look, not daring to meet her eyes.
Ling Su was instantly moved by his words.
Her originally calm heart began to pound furiously.
Then, she looked straight at Feng Wuchen, surprised, "Really? We’ve only known each other for how long, yet you already consider me more important than the throne?"
Feng Wuchen then wore an extremely serious expression, "Of course. You might not believe it, but from the moment you fell from the sky and landed before me, I was deeply captivated by you. In my eyes, you are completely different from other women; you are the most wonderful woman in the world."
Besides, sweet words are just a matter of moving one’s lips; they don’t cost anything.
For now, his priority was to win over this strong support.
