"How come it sounds like that Emperor Yin is just a puppet and that Quan family is the actual power holder of the Country of Summer?"
Gong Yi clapped his hands and happily looked over to Luo Chen, "Your brain works fast. That's basically right. The Emperor isn't exactly a puppet since he does hold some influence. But it's also true that Emperor Yin dislikes the Quan family."
Luo Chen seemingly understood and nodded, "So what's the other country that's ruled by one master? You said there were two?"
Gong Yi looked over to him and was about to speak when he suddenly blinked a few times and narrowed his eyes.
Luo Chen didn't understand so he rubbed his face, "What is it? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Nothing." Gong Yi glanced over at Qiao Qing then back to Luo Chen. His tone was somewhat amused, "The other one is Country Ruan."
Luo Chen once again nodded and didn't think too much of it. He continued, "Since there have been no findings in other countries, it means Qingqing's father, and young master Mu's wife are both in the Country of Summer?"
Gong Yi tapped his hand against the tabletop, "Young master Qi, Jun, and Leng, have as many people as me. If they have had no findings, then yes, that's where those people should be."
Qiao Qing looked over to Jun Yexuan with hesitation.
Her instinct was telling her that Jun Yexuan did not want to go to the Country of Summer. He also very much hated that grandpa of his.
Jun Yexuan felt Qiao Qing's gaze on him and patted her head. He smiled, "Let's pack up and go."
Mu Jinghang had a nervous look, "Third brother…"
Jun Yexuan interrupted him with a gesture, "It's settled. Let's get packing."
Everyone then dispersed and started to pack individually.
Mu Jinghang followed Jun Yexuan into his room, "Third brother, I think your grandpa is using the situation to bait you there. His intention is beyond just catching up with you. Do you remember your old disease? If that was truly caused by him, then he will for sure bring it up this time!"
"I can't run away forever." Jun Yexuan was very calm this time. As he cleaned up his stuff, he said, "Qingqing worked hard looking for her father. We are all witnesses of that. She's so close to finding him. If I stop her from achieving it due to my own history, I'll live in guilt for the rest of my life. Plus, if I can't even do this small thing for her, what right do I have to be her man?!"
Mu Jinghang, "Is this just a small thing?! This is life or death for you!"
Jun Yexuan continued, "Even if he is the cause of my suffering, his intention is to control. I am his blood-related grandson after all. There is no way he would just let me die. Plus, don't you want to find your wife and kid?"
Mu Jinghang, "But, third brother…"
"Mu Jinghang." Jun Yexuan said his name in full. His tone was full of warning.
Mu Jinghang sighed and didn't dare to breathe another word.
In the other room, Qi Yusen walked into Qiao Qing in a daze.
He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Qiao Qing turned around, "Brother, I suddenly don't want to look for my dad anymore."
Qi Yusen was shocked, "Why?"
"I don't know."Qiao Qing said, "Something doesn't feel right. Jun Yexuan obviously hates that grandpa of his. I am worried that going to that country will do him no good."
