Chapter 360: Will She Fly Away?
"Why is he following us too?", Chenglei asked with a grunt seeing the ship behind them. He never liked the Kei family and this Takanashi is trying to involve in the Wind Kingdom’s politics these days which he felt repulsive and he is looking for a right time to thwart him. Also somehow the investigations about the poisoning of the Prime Minister also almost leads to him and he didn’t want him anywhere near this woman.
"He is from the Jin family and he thinks he could negotiate with them for some reason. At least from what I could hear from him...", Xing rubbed her temples as she could gather that much information from using her senses to eavesdrop his conversation, "But shouldn’t the Ouyang family hate the Jins? Considering the fact that they stole half of Ouyang family’s ships in the past?", she looked at Chenglei with his green eyes focused on her and his hands holding the rails really closer to her hands and she could feel the warmth from his hands on her.
" Is that what you heard? ", Chenglei looked surprised and the disdain she had for Takanashi showed in her eyes." From what I’ve heard, the Ouyang family and the Jin family were related by marriage and the ships were given as a dowry"
"Really?", Xing sighed. Why didn’t Master Yuan tell me that? He didn’t know about it? Or could it be that he found it irrelevant? Either case now it would be highly unlikely that the Ouyang Navy will be willing to serve the wind Kingdom.
"So the Jin family could be the rightful Heir of the Ouyang Navy?", she curved her lips. From what she heard the Ouyang family will choose to serve their heir and no one else and that’s why they were hiding till now for them to determine the rightful heir.
If Takanashi gets hold of the Ouyang Navy, the situation will definitely turn to the detriment of their kingdom and possibly the Lu dynasty even.
"We’ll kill him if it gets out of our hands", he whispered in her ears and Xing looked at him emitting darkness as he used to with his eyes filled with a murderous intent.
He really means it!
That thought brought a smile to her lips, "Easy there, Lord Li! If he is the heir, we wouldn’t want the Ouyang family against the Lu family in case we kill him... Let’s see what I can do", she punched his arm playfully and he laughed.
"You.. You are...", ’amazing’, he said rubbing his arms where she hit. He’s talking murder and she is not even fazed a bit and is talking about the possible repercussions. Then again, she hates him too.
