In the heart of Shui Xinting pavilion, Jiang Wang sat upright with a grave expression.

Across from him were only Jiang Wuxie and two beautiful maidservants. The renowned owner of the Shui Xie, Qin Lian, was not present.

“Jiang Wang came here because he wants Your Highness to help him with something.”

Jiang Wang looked at the ninth prince of Great Qi in front of him, his expression serious: "It's related to Diuhai Tower."

"Oh" Jiang Wu Xie showed a very interested expression.

"I want to save someone at the Sea Sacrifice on April 4th at Fishing Sea Tower," Jiang Wang said, realizing that he was truly willing to let both maids listen instead of resorting to habitual bribery.

Jiang Wu Xie was stunned, as if he suspected he had misheard.

But Jiang Wang's expression gave no hint of joking.

After a while, he shook his head and chuckled: "I know that something must have happened to get Jiang Qingyang to come looking for me. But I didn't expect it to be this complicated."

Jiang Wang remained silent, waiting for him to continue.

"You know I'm so happy that you came to visit me on purpose. I've made preparations, no matter what you want, as long as I have it and can do it, I will fulfill your request. Because I see potential in you, I have great expectations for you!"

Jiang Wu Xie's eyes were serious: "When you become famous, everyone will be eager to have you on their side. But when you are unknown, how many people value you I am different from those who come for your fame. Back in Qixing Valley, I knew you would one day achieve great renown."

Jiang Wang had to open his mouth and say, "Your Highness's kindness is overwhelming, Jiang Wang is ashamed."

“No, no, no, I am very careful, very strict.” With an expression of solemn determination, Jiang Wu Xie’s typically alluringly handsome face held a compelling sincerity.

He said, "I have fought against Wang Yiwu and Lei Zhanqian. So I know how amazing it is for you to defeat them with the same level of cultivation."

At this point, he paused, then turned to ask: “What was his name What was his status How important was he to you”

Perhaps Jiang Wuxie is fond of beauty and lacks discipline, but there's no doubt he possesses enough political talent. Otherwise, he wouldn't have achieved his current status in the fiercely competitive Qi Kingdom royal family.

He may appear to be a man who acts purely on his whims, but a man who acts solely on his whims could never possibly get close to the Dragon Throne of Great Qi.

So even if he cherished Jiang Wang dearly and his feelings were sincere, he had to clearly know what he needed to give and what he could get in return.

The balance between gaining and losing was the reason he ultimately made his decision.

Only such a person is worthy of vying for the dragon with others.

“Zhu Bi Qing,” Jiang Wang said. “She is a disciple of the Diao Hai Lou, apprenticed to Elder Bi Zhu, the headmistress. She has been expelled. As for how important she is…she is my friend, and the reason she ended up in this situation was because she saved me.”

“Hǎizōngmíng” Jiāng Wúxié raised an eyebrow and asked.

Need no further explanation, just this name alone reveals that he is aware of Jiang Wang's counter-attack against Hai Zongming, and has already figured out the events.

Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Jiang Wang nodded, confirming Jiang Wu Xie's idea.

“All twenty-four elders who hold true power in the Dianghai Tower have always maintained their positions regardless of comings and goings. Although Haizongming is at the bottom in terms of strength, he is still a representative of Dianghai Tower's face. Zhu Biqiong, acting against seniority and betraying her own people, would be considered a capital offense in any power structure. Moreover, even her own master has already abandoned her.”

Jiang Wu Xie tried his best to analyze without any emotion: "I suppose Chong Xuan has already told you how important the Sea Festival is."

"I'm well aware of how difficult this is for all of Linzi, and there aren't many who are capable of participating." Jiang Wang gently cupped his hands together. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to you, Your Highness."

"I really want to help you, Jiang Qingyang. I really want to be friends with you," Jiang Wuxie said sincerely. "But there are too many people in the Yu Xinyang who depend on me for food. Their lives and fortunes are all tied to me. With such a heavy burden, every step is difficult. I can't make any decisions lightly."

"I completely understand." Jiang Wang sighed inwardly, once again realizing how difficult it was to save people at Hai Lou.

He spoke frankly: “Your Highness, if you can help me with this matter, I will gladly pay the price and be eternally grateful. If you are unwilling to help, I understand completely and bear no resentment.”

Jiang WuXie thought for a moment again, as if he had finally made up his mind. He looked directly into Jiang Wang's eyes: "I can help you, but I also need you to help me, wholeheartedly."

“There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. I have the audacity to ask Your Highness for help, and naturally, I have the corresponding awareness.” Jiang Wang said seriously: “As long as Your Highness helps me save Zhu Biqiong, I promise here that in the struggle for succession in Daqi, I will always stand by Your Highness's side and help Your Highness ascend to the dragon throne!”

He remembered the advice from Chongxuan, and directly mentioned the topic that would most appeal to Jiang Wuxie.

But Jiang Wuxie shook his head.

"I have great faith in you, to the point of risking everything I've built overseas. What I want isn't some specific event at a particular moment."

He said earnestly, "Jiang Qing, I want your loyalty."

“Loyalty” Jiang Wang asked.

"My loyalty, is that even if Chong Xuan stands before us, you must stand by my side. Of course, I respect you deeply and wouldn't allow such a thing to happen. Your talent and character surpass the ordinary, you are the confidante I have always sought. That is why I need your loyalty, Jiang Qing."

Jiang WuXie said with a resolute air, "In return, in the future when I rule the entire Qi nation, you will surely have your place among the nobility, as a marquis or even possibly an hereditary title!"

His expression was so animated, one could completely believe his description.

The scene of a sovereign ascending to the highest throne, ruling over the world, seems within reach.

His promises were also very concrete, his eyes were very serious, making it difficult to doubt his sincerity.

But Jiang Wang merely stood up, nodding slightly in greeting: "Excuse me."

He turned and left.

He came here looking for Jiang Wu Xie, he wasn't unprepared to make the effort.

This is just a deal.

He has his conditions, he has his bottom line.

Speak if you can, and even try your best to do so, but step over the line and walk away. There is no need to hesitate.

Jiang Wuxie's attitude was very clear, and his stance was also very explicit.

He needs Jiang Wu Xie's help, and is willing to fight for Jiang Wu Xie's Dragon.

But to be bound to Jiang Wuxie's command for a lifetime is impossible.

“Qingyang brother!” Jiang Wu Xie said from behind. “The deal fell through… but our friendship remains! You can always remember that, the Yaoxing Palace will always be willing to offer you conditions.”

Jiang Wang turned around, bowed, and said: "Your Highness, please rest assured. We have no kindness or resentment towards you. The scenery here is unique, and we've enjoyed our visit today. Farewell."

He left with a straight back and broad shoulders, without any hesitation. He quickly disappeared at the end of the water corridor.

From beginning to end, his expression remained calm and composed, indeed showing no trace of resentment.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

But the painted promises of countless generations of princes and nobles failed to stir even a flicker of emotion.

It seems you don't understand him.

A pleasant voice came from another water passage.

A woman in a white Taoist robe appeared in sight.

Or perhaps, all along she was there, just deceiving the eyes.

That robe, though wide-fitting, could not entirely conceal her proud figure.

She spoke casually, but remained facing away from the pavilion by the water. She only stared at the calm and tranquil surface of the water.

"Little Si"

Jiang Wu Xie got up from the bed and walked a few steps behind the woman. He gently encircled her soft waist, his eyes smiling: "Today I finally met Jiang Qing Yang, how is it How is my eyesight"

The owner of the Warm Jade Water Pavilion, Qin Lian, was also known as Little Si in his youth.

Not many people know this nickname, and only Jiang Wuxie can be called by it.
