In Xue Qinghe's eyes, this was a test. She absolutely could not let anything slip. Once she did?
Everything would be over.
All her previous efforts would go to waste.
Therefore.
She could not expose her identity as an undercover agent. The Spirit Empire needed her now.
Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong were both slightly stunned upon hearing this. Ning Fengzhi then said, "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this is not a test!"
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, together with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, supports Your Royal Highness ascending the throne as Emperor. His Majesty is old!"
"The current Heaven Dou Empire is beyond His Majesty's control. Only a mighty ruler like Your Royal Highness can lead the Heaven Dou Empire toward a chance of survival!"
"Your Royal Highness, please do not decline. This is absolutely not a test, much less a test arranged by His Majesty."
"Teacher, this truly isn't a test?" Xue Qinghe asked timidly, carefully considering it.
If this really were just a test, there would have been no need for Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong to kneel. They were exceedingly proud and would never...
Offer up their knees for the sake of a test!
Of course!
Nothing was absolute.
Without absolute proof that this was not a test, it was still suspicious. It was still a test! Ning Fengzhi said, "Your Royal Highness, this is absolutely not a test. We sincerely wish to invite Your Highness to ascend the throne as Emperor."
"His Majesty is old. The times have changed, and His Majesty can no longer keep up with them. At this time, only Your Royal Highness can step forward and turn the tide!"
"But I am merely the Crown Prince. Father Sovereign is still the Emperor of Heaven Dou!"
