1677 Possible Head 2
He felt that it was good news, because the King’s son should be easier to deal with. The man who built the Shadow Door might be powerful and difficult to handle, when it came to bargaining and trading exchange, if he had been someone else.
If it was the King’s own son, he would consider his own bloodline. After all, he built the Shadow Door secretively, only because he wanted the throne, didn’t he?
If he could be made use of based on his plan, like promising to help him obtain the throne, everything else would not be a problem.
However, whether or not the King would find it good news depended on his own attitude. As far as he could tell, the King was arrogant and spoke highly of himself, but he was not at all talented.
When the King heard that… he denied disdainfully, just as he had predicted that he would. “Lord Huai? That is impossible!”
“…”
“Elder Qianji, you must be wrong.”
“…”
“I could have believed you, if it was the Crown Prince. He resembles me, and has talent, but definitely not Lord Huai. I saw him growing up from a little boy. He is used to a life of wealth, and is a piece of useless trash who knows nothing about poetry and literature, let alone being the Head of the Shadow Door!”
“…”
“He has the Jiang Family’s bloodline, but the Jiang Family isn’t a very noble family. Not everyone from the Jiang Family can be outstanding!”
“…”
“He can’t be a genius, can he?”
“…”
“Please look into the Shadow Door again, Elder,” the King said resolutely.
He did not want to give this matter another thought
In the King’s eyes, that was the most ridiculous thing he had ever heard.
Zhou Huaijin? Impossible. He personally made sure that he would grow up to become nobody!
Elder Qianji frowned.
Sure enough… it was bad news for the King.
He spoke highly of himself and had biased feelings towards his son. No wonder he tried his best to get those immortal pills.
Well, there was nothing he could do about his disbelief.
He had done what he was asked to do, and when the King would acknowledge the truth didn’t matter to them.
However…
“How is it going with the Golden Rolls?” Elder Qianji asked with concern.
“Don’t worry, it will happen soon. I have already sent my men to escort Lord Huai here to make a deal with Gu Chaoyan. It will definitely work. If she doesn’t want to offer the Golden Rolls, I will have Lord Huai killed, forcing her to make the offer. Gu Chaoyan is a cold person. She even got her father and stepmother killed. She has no family, and all she cares about is Lord Huai!” the King said confidently.
Lord Huai again? Escorting Lord Huai to the court?
Elder Qianji did not think that was a good idea or a solution.
Lord Huai was the Head of the Shadow Door, and the Shadow Door was already moving around in the capital, so the Head would not be obediently grounded indoors.
Elder Qianji said confidently, “King, you are going to be disappointed. You better think of other solutions for getting the Golden Rolls!”
