Chapter 5386: Choosing for You

Prince Zheng, Mo Xikang, furiously strode through the doorway, his eyes immediately falling upon the man leisurely sipping tea in the hall. This man, clad in a green robe, with hair like a waterfall of black silk, a face like flawless jade, and a slender build, sat in the center of the hall. He held his teacup, casually raising his head to glance at him.

The anger in Mo Xikang's heart erupted. He covered the distance in three strides, arriving before the man, and couldn't help but roar with a trembling voice, "Is, is it you? Was it you... you set up the scheme, letting, letting Tao'er walk right into it?"

"Heh heh, is Prince Zheng flustered and exasperated now?" A chilling chuckle drifted into his ears from behind. Prince Zheng, Mo Xikang, shivered slightly, then abruptly turned his face to look at the newcomer. He saw a handsome man, a three-part smile playing on his lips, stepping through the doorway. He fanned himself with a folding fan and offered a polite smile.

Prince Zheng, Mo Xikang, knew very well that he didn't recognize this person. He sharply turned his head, glaring at the man sipping tea, and asked furiously with a trembling voice, "Young Master Er, what do you mean by this? And who is this gentleman?"

Qin Xin calmly glanced at him, then scoffed. "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Young Master Qin, the fire isn't burning your house, so of course you're not in a hurry!" Prince Zheng, Mo Xikang, gnashed his teeth in hatred, pointing a finger out the door and angrily scolding, "Do you know, they've come to my doorstep!"

"The Crown Prince's people, escorting my Princess Consort, have come knocking!" Prince Zheng, Mo Xikang, roared fiercely. "Young Master Er, what exactly have you done?"

"Oh?" Young Master Er Qin calmly looked at Mo Xikang, seemingly unconcerned by his exasperated expression. He asked with an incredibly indifferent tone, "Mo Lian has surrounded Prince Zheng's residence with his people?"

Mo Xikang was so angry his soul felt like it was ascending to heaven. Seeing the man's unperturbed demeanor, he could only swallow his indignation, suppressing a belly full of fire, and tried to speak in a calm voice, "He didn't come himself. He just sent two subordinates."

"Then what are you afraid of?" Young Master Er Qin looked at Mo Xikang disdainfully. "Sitting in this position, you're not even afraid of a few Crown Prince's subordinates, are you?"

"Then why are you even a Prince or plotting great things? You might as well quit early."

Mo Xikang was fuming. "Young Master Er..."

"This is the current Master of Forgetfulness River, Long Yun, Patriarch Long."

Mo Xikang looked at the gentleman with the surname Long in surprise. He saw him waving his fan, also looking back at him, still with a kind smile that seemed particularly approachable. Mo Xikang wasn't familiar with this person's background. Seeing him treat others cordially with a smile, he felt it would be rude to maintain a stern face and be overly standoffish. So, he nodded slightly at the smiling Mr. Long.

Unexpectedly, Young Master Er's next sentence almost made him flip out on the spot. "As business partners, Prince Zheng, this Master of Forgetfulness River before you is much more straightforward than you."

"Compared to you, a mere Prince Zheng, he is the overlord of the vast Forgetfulness River Sea, with the entire Forgetfulness River under his jurisdiction. Yet he's not as indecisive as you."

"Since you are so indecisive and procrastinating, this young master will make a choice for you, allowing you to get ashore cleanly."

Prince Zheng, Mo Xikang's lips trembled slightly, and his body shivered violently. He couldn't help but let out a roar that broke through his throat, "The 'choice' you speak of, is it to scheme against my sister? Young Master Er, was all this your doing?"
