ncerned about this, they were also preoccupied with something even more important."Princess, it's time to offer gifts."A man with a goatee whispered to Jin Xueyuan.Right now, Jin Xueyuan's heart was i...Chapter 1231: Master, Do You Believe

But just at that moment, a strange man's light laughter suddenly came from inside the room: "No wonder the Prince dared to send you here alone, and you dared to take this job. You indeed have some skill. Before King Ning, I almost couldn't help but take you away."

As soon as the words left his mouth, a figure in white robes materialized beside the tea table in the room like a ghost.

This man is Jian Xin, who is responsible for protecting Zhou Ping'an's safety.

The sudden appearance of Jianxin didn't startle Zhou Pingan.

He got up and sat on the edge of the bed, calmly looking at Jian Xin and asking: “With your master level ability, can you detect if there are any threats to a master within this palace”

Jianxin calmly poured himself a cup of water, his tone was calm but domineering as he said, "Do you think Land Immortal Realm cultivators are cabbages or chickens While there are some experts within this王府, in front of me, they're nothing but common dogs."

Zhou Ping nodded in understanding.

"As expected of a celestial being, the land immortals are truly formidable. With a master's protection, this journey will be worry-free."

Ignoring Zhou Ping'an's flattery, Jian Xin looked at him curiously and asked, "How are you so sure that King Ning won't kill you"

He won't make a move later if he doesn't make a move now.

Zhou Ping'an smiled and replied, "This trip to the Grand General's Mansion was most dangerous at two points in time. The first was just now when I met with King Ning, but luckily that hurdle has passed."

If he wanted to kill me, he would have to risk a complete break with the imperial court. Although he was confident, he also had to consider the opinions of the people throughout the land.

He is ambitious and wants to seize the throne and rule the Central Plains. Then he must care about his image in the eyes of the world. As a vassal king, disobeying the emperor is a serious taboo. If it becomes true, he will never dream of becoming emperor.

"So I have an 80% chance he won't kill me."

"While the situation seemed dangerous just now, it was actually safe."

"Of course, the other 20% of the surprise is that either he doesn't have imperial ambitions, or he's a complete reckless fool."

Regardless of which one it is, he no longer poses any threat to the Eastern Palace. Instead, his ambition is now blatantly clear.

"This is not good news for the East Palace."

"So you're going to use your own head to test him" Jian Xin asked playfully, "You're so loyal to the Crown Prince"

"I am naturally loyal to the Crown Prince, but I wouldn't go so far as to test Lord Ning with my head."

"To put it bluntly, he's not worth it. My life is worth far more than his."

"That's why I asked the Crown Prince to arrange for a master swordsman to protect me. I figured a master swordsman wouldn't just stand by and watch Ning Wang kill me, right"

Seeing Zhou Ping'an's calm and confident demeanor, Jian Xin burst into laughter: "You're actually quite interesting. With your intelligence, you could easily build a successful career anywhere. Why bother being a lackey for the prince"

"Or else, I'll go to the Bai Lian Sect and look for a job" Zhou Ping'an retorted.

This hit Jian's sore spot.

Thinking about it, he couldn't even mention Zhou Ping'an anymore. Even now, he was acting as a lackey for the prince. His face darkened, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Seemingly sensing Jianxin's discomfort, Zhou Ping diverted the conversation.

He asked with a sly smile, "Master, do you believe that right now, the Prince and my second brother are surely discussing how to deal with me" Chen should be the one begging for mercy, so why could the prince be so aggressive!Couldn't he possibly know that with over a hundred men charging up, even with an unparalleled expert by his side, th...
