Thoughts of Wuxie

In the Water Heart Pavilion, Jiang Wang sat upright.

Across from him were only Jiang Wuxie and two beautiful maids. The famous owner of the Warm Jade Water Pavilion, Qin Lian, was nowhere to be seen.

"Jiang Wang has come to ask Your Highness for a favor."

Jiang Wang looked at the Ninth Prince of Great Qi, his expression earnest. "It concerns the Sea Fishing Tower."

"Oh?" Jiang Wuxie looked very interested.

Seeing that he truly was willing to let the two maids listen in, rather than simply trying to win their hearts out of habit, Jiang Wang said, "I want to save someone during the Sea Fishing Tower's Sea Sacrifice on the fourth day of the fourth month."

Jiang Wuxie paused, seeming to wonder if he had heard correctly.

But there was not the slightest hint of a joke in Jiang Wang's expression.

After a moment, he shook his head and laughed. "I knew that anything that could bring Jiang Green Sheep to my door wouldn't be simple. But I didn't expect it to be this complicated."

Jiang Wang said nothing, waiting for him to continue.

"Do you know? When I heard you'd come to visit me, I was delighted. I was prepared to give you anything you wanted, so long as I had it and could provide it. Because I believe in you. I believe in you very much!"

Jiang Wuxie's gaze was earnest. "When you've made a name for yourself, everyone under heaven claims to be a judge of talent. But when you were still unknown, how many people believed in you? I'm not like those who came to you after you became famous. Back in Seven Star Valley, I knew you'd have your day in the limelight."

Jiang Wang had no choice but to speak up.
