With a wry smile, Zhou Changshou naturally revealed the helplessness and bitterness he felt facing his unruly younger brother. He said, "Who would have thought that he wouldn't even give me an explanation before speaking, directly putting the prince in a difficult position In the end, it was all my fault."

Looking down at Zhou Changshou, who was bowing respectfully, King Ning walked slowly towards him.

As soon as he sensed King Ning's approach, Zhou Changshou felt that the person near him wasn't a human anymore but a ferocious beast of primeval chaos, capable of swallowing him whole at any moment.

King Ning's voice, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, echoed from above Zhou Changshou's head: "You are my trusted confidante, deeply esteemed by me. And seeing your younger brother, Zhou Ping'an, entrusted with such a significant role, it seems he holds considerable importance in the Crown Prince's heart as well."

"On one side is me, on the other your own brother. I truly don't know how you will choose."

After finishing his words, the King of Ning stared intently at Zhou Changshou's face, missing not a single expression.

He was waiting for Zhou Changshou's reply.

And Prince Ning would decide what to do based on Zhou Changshou's answer.

Being thoroughly acquainted with King Ning's character, Zhou Changshou knew he only had a word or two to make his point.

If the next few words cannot persuade King Ning, then today will truly be a perilous day for me.

His mind churned, but in the blink of an eye, Zhou Changshou had gathered his thoughts. After a moment's contemplation, he spoke, "Your Highness worries too much."

For the prince, it seemed like longevity was a choice between him and his younger brother. But for the crown prince, wasn't it also about choosing peace over him and his elder brother

From this angle, it's quite unique.

King Ning raised an eyebrow slightly and patiently gestured to Zhou Changshou to continue.

But in reality, for my brother and me, using all our skills to achieve our ideals and aspirations is the true pursuit of life.

"My brother and I each serve our own masters, with our own respective ideas. Our paths diverge, so we pursue different goals. Though this doesn't affect our brotherhood, it also means we wouldn't betray our ideals for familial ties. We wouldn't go against our own convictions just because we are brothers."

"If the Prince has any concerns, Chang Shou can immediately resign and seek a remote, deserted place in the mountains. A life of peace and contentment wouldn't be bad either."

After saying these words, Zhou Changshou seemed to let out a breath of relief. He looked at King Ning calmly and waited patiently for his decision.

Hades leaned down slightly, gazing into Zhou Changshou's eyes and asked, "What if I don't trust you to just leave like that"

Zhou Changshou smiled nonchalantly, calmly meeting the gaze of the Underworld King and said: "Then please, Your Highness, scatter Changshou's ashes into rivers and lakes, so that even after death, this official can still find solace in nature."

Zhou Changshou's reaction was very calm and normal.

Prince Ning saw nothing suspicious.

He straightened his body, his air relaxed slightly, but he still frowned and asked, "This king is willing to believe your loyalty to this king."

But you well know that bringing him here would anger me, yet you did it anyway. Don't you think you owe me an explanation

This level is halfway done.

Zhou Changshou let out a long sigh of relief inwardly. He didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately replied, "Your Highness, as I just said, although my brother and I have different aspirations, it doesn't affect our brotherhood."those in the Jianghu.”"I've been stuck at the Grandmaster realm for over a decade.
