Chapter 363: The Consort
From Zhao Kuang's perspective, the only condition Li Musheng had stated was Daoist Qingyu, and everything about his reaction since confirmed that he had not been lying. Otherwise, after Zhao Kuang had used the Earth Vault Mystery Hall to test him, Li Musheng would not have been so easy to deal with.
It was obvious enough that Li Musheng needed him to help locate his father. And Zhao Kuang needed someone with Li Musheng's formidable martial power as a partner if he was to have any chance of standing against his father the emperor. More importantly, Li Musheng's martial cultivation had far exceeded Zhao Kuang's expectations. The Earth Vault Mystery Hall, a trap capable of holding a Martial Saint, had been sliced open with a single blow. An expert of such terrifying power was something none of the Great Xuan martial world experts had ever encountered, and even he as the Crown Prince of Great Xuan had never heard of or seen the like.
"Rest assured, if my father is not here, then he will certainly be in the other location."
Zhao Kuang spoke with conviction, his eyes burning with intensity, "I will deal with you in complete good faith. Once the matter is settled, everything I have promised, I will not go back on."
At those words, Li Musheng said nothing, only gestured for Zhao Kuang to lead on, appearing too indifferent to bother with further conversation.
Zhao Kuang did not mind. His heart was already brimming with barely contained excitement. His gaze swept toward the palace gates beyond the courtyard, and he stepped forward to leave.
His father wanted to reign for two hundred years. How could he, who had always longed to inherit the throne, accept that? Then the two hundred years on the throne would simply have to be his.
Seeing Zhao Kuang head off to lead the way, Li Musheng glanced sideways at Zhao Muning, "Think carefully about what I asked you earlier. The time for you to make a choice is coming soon."
With that, Li Musheng strolled leisurely after him.
