Chapter 1133: Commandery Princess? Momo?
"With the Turtle Prime Minister here, it shouldn't be too troublesome."
Ying En gave a slight nod. "That may be true, but in reality, many things still require my personal attention. My father's name commands respect across the Four Seas, so he doesn't need to bother with trivial matters. I'm different. Even with his backing, people will always feel I'm just a fox leveraging the tiger's might."
Chen Changsheng replied, "The way I see it, let them talk. Having an elder at home to back you is a skill in its own right. That tiger's might will eventually become yours. When that time comes, they will naturally shut their mouths."
"I'll take your word for it, Uncle. But it's hard to say. It would be best if my eldest and second brothers took over these affairs; I'd be much freer. I don't mind you laughing, Uncle, but I'm just a bit too fond of playing around."
"Why would I laugh?"
Chen Changsheng chatted at length with the dragon maiden, sharing amusing anecdotes and local sights. The Old Dragon King came up the most, mostly regarding his embarrassing blunders. Chen Changsheng was quite pleased to hear about them, deciding he would definitely tease the Old Dragon King with them the next time they met.
They had a wonderful conversation, but ultimately, both still had matters to attend to.
Chen Changsheng bade her farewell and set off toward the north.
Ying En said, "Your niece wishes you a smooth journey and swift success, Uncle."
