　　Aiya.

　　The wooden door of the inner room was gently closed by He Di with his foot.

　　Yaoye turns around and facing He Di, “His Highness Prince should have guessed why I invited you in?”

　　He Di shrugs indifferently. “I guessed a little bit, but it’s better to ask The Lady to explain herself to avoid misunderstanding.”

　　“All right, let me get it straight. I see Zi Yan’s eyes, not only he’s anxious but also frightened, as if he’s afraid to get along with the prince. Did the Prince do any evil deeds to him? This is Feng Ming’s subordinate after all, as a mother, i have no choice but to ask.”

　　If it’s not impossible to speak, Zi Yan must have shouted.

　　Never expect this Lady Yaoye who is well-known to be cold, indifferent and merciless woman, to know He Di’s true ident.i.ty by his evil face.

　　Xiao Holy Master has a good eye, the woman he choose is really awesome.

　　Zi Yan is so thankful that he almost cried.

　　He knows his responsibility, so he can’t help but pretense at complying with He Di, but if Lady Yaoye knew the truth, at least he could stay in the this courtyard temporarily, and then give him back to He Di when his strength has been recovered.

　　If he was brought back by He Di and needs his help for eating, bathing and urinating, then his life is worse than death.

　　He Di is asked by Yaoye, without guilty at all he shows a charming evil’s smile, and approves, “The Lady is so attentive that she can guess so much from her eyes.” With a sigh of relief, he says lightly, “Why don’t we be frank with each other, please The Lady tell me directly what The Lady wants from me in order to help This Prince hide this little secret?” He glances down at Zi Yan, whose eyes are s.h.i.+ning with hope.

　　Zi Yan my little baby, you are happy too soon.

　　If this woman wants to help you, why would she invite me into the inner room? In this case, she clearly wants to take advantage of the opportunity to blackmail me.

　　Zi Yan apparently thought of this too, and his eyes suddenly dimmed, and his black eyes which are greatly disappointed and rubbed with grief and indignation, become more and more attractive and lovely.

　　Lady Yaoye shakes her head and smiles, “His Highness Prince misunderstood, you formed an alliance with Feng Ming and promised to open the dual luminous sand route to protect Feng Ming from the severe punishment of his dad, this is the best thing Yaoye can get from you. Beside that, what else does Yaoye want?”

　　He Di doesn’t like her and staring at her coldly, “Does Lady ask me to come in just to tell me that you saw through Zi Yan’s eyes?”

　　“Of course not.” Here comes the negotiation. “I asked His Highness Prince to talk privately because I want His Highness Prince to a.s.sure me personally that not only will your Dan Lin royal family help Feng Ming open up the dual luminous sand route, but also Feng Ming has something to ask for in the future, the prince must give everything he has and do anything his best to help. The chaotic world has arrived, since your Dan Lin Island Kingdom is independent and will not be affected by the war. At the critical moment, maybe you are my son’s savior.”

　　He Di stunned by her lion’s big mouth words for a moment before he shakes his head and says sarcastically, “Lady really knows how to ask a price, but it’s a pity that This Prince is not interested in your words at all. Think carefully, there’s no bargaining chip in Lady’s hands, what will i do about Zi Yan later when we go back, You and I know it, but do you have the courage to tell Duke Ming? You are more worried about the dual luminous sand route than Duke Ming himself, how can you stubbornly stand up for a merely imperial guard and break the agreement between Dan Lin and Duke Ming? Let me tell The Lady clearly that the man i’m holding in my arms is the exchanged for the dual luminous sand, which is more expensive than gold. As soon as he’s in my arms, the dual luminous sand route is opened and as soon as he leaves the area under the control of This Prince, the agreement will be cancelled immediately.”

　　(t/n: 狮子大开口 Lion’s big mouth : The metaphorical asking price or the conditions mentioned very high, which also describes people as greedy).

　　Both sides speak out openly, there is no need to cover it up any more.

　　He Di erases the hypocritical smile, his face darken, his ferocious words became sharper and sharper. “A word of advice to The Lady, do not be too greedy in dealing with the people who live in the Dan Lin sea. Your son can get the dual luminous sand route, which is a big deal, for nothing, but you still has the nerve to ask my royal family to be ready to give everything i have and try my best to help him. Is he really an indispensable ally? This is the first time I’ve heard of such ridiculous delusion, but I don’t care about it for Zi Yan’s sake. But things can no longer be done again, if the Xiao family is so rude in the future, please forgive me for not giving face to anyone, and I will immediately tie Zi Yan up and throw him on the s.h.i.+p, then tear up the agreement, and go away, so that everyone in the world knows that Xiao Young Master is a loser who can’t maintain the alliance. If you are not afraid of death, come and chase after him, in the sea area of Dan Lin, who is Laozi afraid of?”
