"My fate is in my own hands! I hope I can address you as Your Majesty when we meet again!"

Fu Xiaoguan's words are more powerful than the red cannon!

It echoed in Yan Liangze's ears and was deeply engraved in his mind:

My destiny is in my own hands!

I am the crown prince, the future emperor!

Why should I live under his control? If I kill him, I will take the throne. History is a whore. At that time, I can do whatever I want and no one will dare to object!

He made a decision in that instant, his expression firm and his eyes burning. He raised his wine glass and said, "Brother Fu's words are like a revelation! Even if I die, this matter will be as heavy as Mount Tai!"

This idiot finally fell for it. Fu Xiaoguan laughed heartily. "The prosperity of the world is like a passing cloud, but only great achievements can be passed down through the ages! This great cause is placed before Brother Yan. I hope Brother Yan will return home smoothly and write a glorious chapter for the Yi Kingdom! Let's drink this glass of wine and wish Brother Yan immediate success!"

"Thank you, Brother Fu, for your kind words. If that day ever comes, I will definitely invite you to Tailin City for a gathering..." He leaned forward and said with a smile, "Brother Fu, you've only heard that Yi women are affectionate. When that time comes, I will invite you to experience their talents."

"Hahahaha... the one who understands me best is Brother Yan!"

"Master Bian, please invite Miss Sakura."

"Your Majesty, I obey." Bian Muyu left the room, and Yan Liangze said with emotion, "As for eternal fame, I'll be honest with you, Brother Fu. I've been to Lanting Gathering three times recently. Brother Fu's poems and essays are a beautiful sight on those thousands of stone tablets. In my opinion, this is a peerless talent that has never been seen before and will never be surpassed. Brother Fu has already been immortalized through these poems and essays! I really admire him."

Xu Xinyan turned her head and looked at Fu Xiaoguan. She had naturally been to Lantingji before, and she had long memorized all the poems and articles written by Fu Xiaoguan. This man... the more she looked at Fu Xiaoguan during these days of getting along, the more she doubted whether those poems and articles were written by him.

This person is always thinking about how to make money, how to cheat people, and how to defraud people.

How does he look like a talented person?

If she didn't know that those poems were indeed written by Fu Xiaoguan, she would have thought that this man was just a gangster wearing a huge hat.

Fu Xiaoguan smiled sheepishly, but in his heart he was thinking: What an idiot! "Eternal fame" is something you can only say after you're dead! Being uneducated is so freaking terrible!

"I don't want to be remembered forever. Those things are just things that busybodies do out of boredom. Brother Yan, please don't take it to heart. It is I who really hope that Brother Yan can be remembered forever."

Yan Liangze took a deep breath, his expression becoming serious. "If this return is successful, I will definitely create a great cause that will be remembered for eternity. If I fail..."

"The most important thing for a person is to believe in himself! With Brother Yan's talent and intelligence, I believe he will be able to achieve success immediately after returning home. Come on, Brother Yan, I will toast you again and wish you all the best!"

"Brother Fu, I wish you good luck!"

The two of them had just finished their drinks when the door of the private room quietly opened.

Fu Xiaoguan looked up and saw two women in green clothes walking in, each holding an exquisite lantern.

They stood at the door and bowed to greet them.

Then, a woman appeared at the door.

She was wearing a snow-white brocade embroidered robe with a light blue ribbon tied around her waist, which made her slender waist look like a willow and at the same time highlighted her plump breasts with even greater pride.

She held a red Suzhou embroidered scarf in her hand, her three thousand strands of black hair were tied up in a bun, and a golden crabapple pearl flower hairpin was inserted diagonally in her dark hair.

She covered her mouth with a handkerchief, her eyebrows and eyes were smiling, her eyelids were slightly raised, and her bright starry eyes looked at the people in the room.

Then there was a startled “Ah!”

Those eyes suddenly lit up, Fu Xiaoguan!

Fu Xiaoguan was also stunned... Sakura? Shouldn't this woman be in Guanyun City?

Isn’t she the princess of Ryukyu?

How did you end up singing for money?

Could it be that something happened in Guanyun City that led to the embassy of the Ryukyu Kingdom being closed down?

In just a short moment, Yinghua thought a lot, and Fu Xiaoguan also thought a lot, but their thoughts were not on the same channel.

Yinghua was thinking about how the distinguished guest that Master Yan was going to host was actually Fu Xiaoguan! And she actually met Fu Xiaoguan here! This was truly a pleasant surprise.

But Fu Xiaoguan did not feel happy about this. He was thinking about bad things.

So his brows furrowed, and Yinghua walked in, her eyes fixed on Fu Xiaoguan's face.

Yan Liangze took a look... Could there be something going on between these two?

Fu Xiaoguan's brows slowly relaxed. He did not see sadness on Yinghua's face, but rather the joy of meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

"Hello, Master Fu!"

Sakura bowed, and Fu Xiaoguan grinned, "I really didn't expect it to be you."

"Yinghua never thought that Master Fu would come here."

Yan Liangze looked left and right. Wasn't it me who was hosting tonight? These cherry blossoms used to greet me, but today they didn't even glance at me...

Yan Liangze felt a little bit painful about spending this money.

"You two, do you know each other?"

Fu Xiaoguan nodded and extended his hand to invite her, "Please sit down, young lady."

He then turned around and explained to Yan Liangze: "We met once in Guanyun City of Wu Dynasty."

Fortunately, it was just a chance encounter.

Yan Liangze felt much more comfortable. Sakura seemed to have come to her senses at this time and understood the role she was playing.

She raised her delicate arm and poured a glass of wine for Yan Liangze, Fu Xiaoguan, and Xu Xinyan. She raised her glass and smiled at Yan Liangze, saying, "Thank you for your presence, Young Master Yan. Sakura is honored. I would like to offer you a glass to express my gratitude."

Xu Xinyan hesitated for three breaths, raised his glass, and drank it all in one gulp with Fu Xiaoguan and the others.

Yinghua poured the wine again and talked freely, "Since we left Guanyun City, September has already passed in the blink of an eye. When the literary gathering ended, I originally thought that Master Fu would go to Liuyuntai in Shili Pinghu, but unfortunately, I didn't see him in the end.

After hearing about the events at the Great Snow Mountain, I felt deeply saddened, lamenting that Heaven was jealous of talented people. But then I heard that the young master had appeared in Jinling, and I realized that he was truly a person favored by Heaven.

It has been just over a month since I left Guanyun City for Jinling. I had originally intended to visit the young master, but on the way I heard he was already married.

So I came here, originally thinking of earning enough money to return to Guanyun City, but later I changed my mind..."

Yinghua looked at Fu Xiaoguan with a forced smile. She raised her glass and said, "Happy wedding, Master Fu!"

Fu Xiaoguan also raised his glass. "Thank you very much. I wonder what changed Miss Sakura's mind?"

Sakura drank the wine in her glass, raised her eyebrows, and opened her red lips slightly, "I want to go back to my country."

"What are you going back for?"

"You're already married, why should I stay here?"
