King Teng made his decision very quickly, so fast that Ling Tianyu hadn't quite expected it.
He really was a smart man, though Ling Tianyu wasn't stupid either. These years King Teng had been wandering the world, he had indeed done many things, intending to win back his face and the dignity he'd lost, but he was also very clear that, with what he had done so far, it was still not enough—or rather, his odds were not enough.
One had to know, Consort Ying was the daughter of the Sect Master of Xuanyuan Sect, and the current Emperor was the Sect Master's son-in-law. Even though treacherous ministers now held sway and their strength had gradually declined, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse—that was reality.
As clever as King Teng was, he naturally understood that their Emperor Lineage was the same: the camel was still bigger than the horse; the Emperor Lineage would eventually return; the severed path would, one day, be reopened, even if it meant a price.
