In the palace.
You are still in King of Xia's small study.
Xu Ru‘an looked at Luo Du with some doubt.
I don't think I have any relationship with that mysterious Qi Practitioner, right?
Why did he come to see me?
"Yeah, that man didn't have a reason. He only said that his instincts told him that he was fated to meet Zhao Hou."
Luo Du similarly didn't believe a single word that Lin Mu said, but he still had to say it out loud.
After all, if he wanted to figure out the purpose of this Qi Practitioner, he needed Zhao Hou's cooperation.
Since that person had already told him his purpose and wanted to see Zhao Hou, then Zhao Hou had to meet him. Only then could he figure out what his purpose was.
"I wonder, Zhao Hou!"
Luo Du's eyes carried a trace of inquiry.
Now, their identities were completely different.
If it was in the past, he wouldn't need to ask Xu Ru‘an. He could just give him an order.
But now, it was different.
Xu Ru‘an's status was no longer lower than his.
Even though he was the Right Prime Minister of Xia Kingdom, he wasn't conferred the title of Marquis.
However, this man in front of him was already a dignified Lord Marquis, and his status wasn't any lower than the Right Prime Minister.
Furthermore, Xu Ru‘an was currently being favoured by the Lord, and he had come to our Jin City. It was said that the King would summon him to discuss any problems that he encountered every time.
Even Luo Du, who had been the Right Minister of Xia Kingdom for more than ten years, hadn't received such treatment.
Therefore, he didn't have the qualifications to order him around. He could only ask for his opinion.
"It just so happens that I am also very curious about what this Qi Practitioner looks like."
"I would like to see if he has three heads and six arms."
Xu Ru‘an closed his eyes and thought for a while in his mind, considering the pros and cons of this matter.
After that, he slowly opened his eyes and said to Luo Du.
He was really curious about this mysterious Qi Practitioner. He also wanted to see what the legendary Qi Practitioner in this world was. He had three heads and six arms, which made people in the mortal world fear him like this.
"No!"
Just as Xu Ru‘an agreed.
King of Xia's voice rang in their ears.
This voice was filled with determination and a hint of dignity.
It was as if he was saying that as the owner of this place, she had not agreed.
"King!"
Luo Du looked at King of Xia with some doubt.
"Zhao Hou is the pillar of the empire. If anything happens, it will be a huge loss to the empire."
King of Xia's eyes revealed a trace of worry.
But this time, his worry was hidden very well. Even as the right prime minister of the empire, Luo Du did not discover it easily. However, Xu Ru‘an, who was standing beside him, had clearly discovered it.
He also knew why King of Xia stopped him from meeting this Qi Practitioner.
Although he said that he didn't care about his own life or death, he was still very worried about him in his heart.
Thinking of this, the corner of Xu Ru‘an's mouth couldn't help but reveal a trace of a smile.
However, it disappeared in an instant. Then, he slowly stood in front of her and said:
"Since this mysterious Qi Practitioner has asked me to meet him, I must not meet him."
"Even if I can escape this time, how can I escape later?"
"It is said that some of the qi-trainers are very sophisticated. If I refuse this time, he will find a way to meet me."
"Besides, if I don't enter the tiger's den, I won't be able to find the tiger's nest. If I want to find out the purpose of the qi-trainer, I must meet him."
