Chapter 593: The Elder’s Good Intentions
Then, there was silence.
It was silent for quite a while before the hotpot restaurant owner wiped the tears from his face and said, "Regarding the Emperor’s decision to change the crown prince, actually, many years ago, Miss Xia Man had a premonition that the young master’s health was not up to bearing the responsibilities of a monarch. Therefore, a month before Miss Xia Man passed away, she suddenly mentioned to me that after the young master steps down from his position as crown prince, she hoped he could return here to Lanyue Star to enjoy his later years."
Ji You still said nothing.
The hotpot restaurant owner said, "At that time, I didn’t quite understand Miss’s words, but now I think about it, I vaguely understand. The young master might truly be happy if he returns to the Xia Family’s ancestral home."
Ji You said softly, "In this lifetime, no matter what, being happy is the most important! Naturally, live comfortably in whatever way you want!"
The hotpot restaurant owner laughed, "Right."
"But—" The hotpot restaurant owner’s brows furrowed slightly as he said, "It was Miss Xia Man’s decision to have the young master return to Lanyue Star under the Alliance, and it was also agreed upon by the Emperor, but—"
With a heavy tone of sorrow, the hotpot restaurant owner continued, "After all, there’s no one left from the Xia Family here, and the young master’s identity is very special and sensitive. If malicious people were to use or harm him... his future on Lanyue Star and within the Alliance would still require the protection of powers. Thus, Lanyue Star Military Academy and the Agricultural College are the two best forces."
Ji You nodded, expressing understanding.
The hotpot restaurant owner said, "Our Lanyue Star Military Academy’s former principal, Principal Hong, learned of this and did not decline; he took on the responsibility. The Agricultural College is a bit special, but showed no intentions of refusing either, although their Combat Power is not high..."
Ji You blinked, "Huh?"
This was not what she observed.
