"I've heard that Wolf Marquis is a man of keen insight and broad knowledge. I happen to have something I'd like to ask Wolf Marquis to help me with."
Grand Princess Qingyue saw that Lin Bai was about to leave and hurriedly called out to stop him.
Something to help with... Lin Bai was speechless, inwardly so distraught he could have wept.
He had never wanted to get involved in the imperial family's affairs, yet somehow, more and more trouble kept piling up.
"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Grand Princess. I'm dull-witted by nature and probably can't help you." Without even thinking, Lin Bai flatly refused.
"Wolf Marquis doesn't even know what it is yet. How do you know you can't help?" Grand Princess frowned.
Lin Bai did not answer. Instead, after thinking seriously for a moment, he said, "Grand Princess is Emperor Chu's own elder sister. In the entire imperial capital and across Chu's territory, who knows how many martial artists wish to serve under your command."
"Moreover, the imperial family's foundations are incredibly deep. If you need anything, the Zhao Xing Office and the imperial family will support you with all their might."
"Looking across all of Chu's territory, if even Grand Princess cannot accomplish something, then there's no way I could accomplish it either."
"So you don't need to say anything more. I already know I can't handle this matter."
Lin Bai smiled as he explained himself.
"Wolf Marquis truly has a silver tongue." Grand Princess smiled faintly. "But what I want to tell Wolf Marquis is... you're the only one who can do this!"
"And you have no choice but to do it."
"Ah..." Lin Bai let out a mournful sigh. It seemed Grand Princess had already taken his measure.
"I'd like to know why,"
