King Qi couldn't help but glance at him again. How could there be such a shameless person in the world?
If the Crown Princess hadn't been watching from a distance, he might have slapped him to death.
King Qi's anger level increased by 300 + 300 + 300...
Even though he was usually very shrewd, he was caught off guard by the series of events today. He said coldly, "As far as I know, those assassins in the prison only started accusing General Cheng after they met Lord Zu."
Zu An's heart skipped a beat. This guy's reach was incredibly far; he even had spies in the Heavenly Prison.
He said calmly, "King Qi should know who really wants to punish General Cheng. How could a nobody like me possibly influence the overall situation?"
The King of Qi glanced at him with some surprise: "You've got some nerve, daring to say something like that."
Zu An said sincerely, "How could I dare to hide anything from the King of Qi?"
The King of Qi smiled enigmatically: "Really?"
Zuan patted his chest and assured him, "Of course it's true, heaven and earth can bear witness."
“Very well, I happen to have something to ask you,” King Qi stared intently into his eyes, “Does the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra truly grant immortality?”
Zu An smiled wryly and said, "His Majesty has already made it public, so why should Prince Qi ask me?"
The King of Qi said coldly, "Now I want you to speak."
Zu'an immediately replied, "Of course the Emperor cannot achieve immortality through this."
As for whether I can achieve immortality through this, I didn't say.
Sensing the sincerity and certainty in his tone, Prince Qi was somewhat surprised: "Do you know that if such words were to reach the Emperor's ears, you would likely face the death penalty?"
Zu An smiled wryly and said, "King Qi is a famous wise king, so I'm sure he won't make things difficult for me."
King Qi laughed heartily and patted him lightly on the shoulder: "You have a bright future, young man. I have high hopes for you."
Zu An's expression changed, his gaze falling on the hand on his shoulder. "Damn, could this be the Bone-Melting Palm? It's a Grandmaster's technique. If he uses some hidden force, I won't even know how I died."
"Go back quickly, Linglong is getting impatient," King Qi said with a smile.
"Thank you, King Qi." Zu An hurriedly left; being with this guy was just too stressful.
As he walked away, a figure appeared a few feet away from Prince Qi. The smile on Prince Qi's face vanished instantly: "Help me investigate two things. First, what does the Emperor want with Liu Chenyu? Second, keep an eye on Jin Pai Eleven. I have a feeling that he and Zu An are the same person. The timing of their appearances is too coincidental."
The person in the shadows replied in a deep voice, "Alright!"
