Emperor Jing frowned and sighed: "I heard that Su Luo is back."
"You're back?" Old Ancestor Su opened his eyes wide.
Pretend, keep pretending! Emperor Jing despised Su Laozu in his heart, but he still smiled and said in a friendly and easygoing tone: "Yes, I heard that they came back a few days ago and are now living in Nanshan."
"Oh? Isn't Nanshan the property of His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin?" Patriarch Su pretended not to know.
Anyway, he had just completed his training and came out of retreat, so it was natural that he didn't know those little things.
Pretend, keep pretending. Emperor Jing secretly resented this, but on the surface he remained cheerful and cheerful: "Old Ancestor Su, you don't know this, but your Su Luo and Liu Yun are deeply in love with each other, and they've already reached the stage of discussing marriage."
Isn't this what Patriarch Su has been waiting for after laying the groundwork for so long?
Elder Su frowned and said angrily, "Since we're already discussing marriage, then we should discuss it properly. How can we live together like this before she's even married?"
Emperor Jing didn't know that Patriarch Su's true intentions were about to be exposed. He laughed in his heart, but frowned on his face. "This is... Alas."
"Your Highness the Prince of Jin is determined to marry my daughter Luo?" Old Ancestor Su's eyes were turned upside down with a hint of coldness.
Look, she hasn't even acknowledged her ancestral roots yet, and she's already calling him "my little girl Luo." Emperor Jing recalled the day when Su Zi'an insisted on expelling Su Luo from the palace in the main hall. He couldn't help but feel a little gloating at the comparison.
"About this, you have to ask Liuyun's opinion. To be honest, I can't make the decision." Emperor Jing completely shirked his responsibility.
"In that case, that girl is determined to marry Prince Jin?" Patriarch Su changed his tone.
"Well..." Thinking of how Nangong Liuyun protected that little girl like the apple of his eye, Emperor Jing knew that it was definitely his silly son who loved her more.
"Your Majesty, please convey a message." Elder Su stood up calmly, his voice trailing off a bit. "If Prince Jin truly wishes to marry that girl, then he must do so legitimately and with all due courtesy. Having said this, I will take my leave."
After saying this, without waiting for Emperor Jing to reply, Patriarch Su left.
"This..." Emperor Jing was in a dilemma.
The meaning of Su Laozu just now was very clear. He was threatening. If Su Luo insisted on marrying Liuyun, she would have to return to the Su Mansion first. Only after entering the Su Mansion could she go through all the etiquette one by one. But would Su Luo go back?
Emperor Jing recalled Nangong Liuyun's cold and arrogant expression from that day and sighed slowly. This time, Elder Su had indeed given him a difficult task. If he failed to accomplish this task, he would definitely find a random excuse to dismiss this emperor from the Four Kingdoms Tournament.
That night, Emperor Jing tossed and turned in his bedroom alone but couldn't fall asleep, and the words of Old Ancestor Su kept appearing in his mind.
In the middle of the night, he got up again, put on his clothes, and ran to the queen happily.
The Queen was naturally furious with Su Luo and Nangong Liuyun. What advice could she give to Emperor Jing? How could she not be offended?
"Your Majesty, there are rumors outside that Su Luo has reached the eighth level of strength. I don't know whether it is true or not." The queen chuckled.
Emperor Jing waved his hands irritably and said, "When she left the Eastern Jin Dynasty, she was only at the fourth level at best. How could she reach the eighth level in just two years? Do you believe this?" In any case, Emperor Jing did not believe it.
