Xu Tianran Was Confident He Could Subdue Cao Cao and Sima Yi; Toji Fushiguro Arrived in the Star Luo Empire!

After laughing, Xu Tianran looked at the two men, the smile still on his face, and said:

"With Brother Cao and Brother Sima supporting me, the throne will soon be within my reach. In time, I certainly won't let either of you go unrewarded!"

Sima Yi smiled and nodded. "Then let me thank Your Highness in advance."

The three exchanged a few more pleasantries before Sima Yi called Cao Cao to leave with him.

Once the two had left, silence settled over the hall.

Ju Zi hesitated before finally speaking:

"Your Highness, are you really going to cooperate with those two? I keep feeling they won't be easy to deal with... especially the one called Cao Cao. He gives me a very..."

For a moment, Ju Zi couldn't find the words.

"Very untamed, not the sort to bow beneath another, is that it?"

Xu Tianran spoke. The smile had vanished from his face, leaving his usual cold, sinister expression.

Ju Zi nodded. "Exactly. Since Your Highness knows that, then..."

Xu Tianran said, "How could I not know? But my household is short of men right now. With two more Titled Douluo, my chances of winning the throne will be that much greater."

Ju Zi asked, "Is Your Highness not afraid of raising tigers that will turn on you?"

Hearing that, Xu Tianran gave a confident smile:

"Since I've taken these two in, naturally, I'm confident I can bring them completely to heel!

If they still refuse to serve me wholeheartedly after I ascend the throne... it won't be too late to deal with them then!"

Ju Zi kept feeling that the crown prince was a little too confident, but she couldn't very well contradict him now.

Those two were no lambs. Could he really subdue them?
