The next gathering of the Suliang's top executives...

Those who were of the neutral faction were careful of their words and actions. After the announcement that the Prince was betrothed to the Mo family, those in the underground world knew that there would be a shift of power.

From their own volition, they approached the King under the leadership of Official Pei. From then on, they had been part of the gatherings discussing the affairs of Suliang's governance.

Who knew that not long after, the Prince would move out of the wangfu? It could be alluding to a fracture in the royal sibling's relationship.

Or it could just be a normal bachelor preparing for the life of marriage.

At the head of the table was Wan Li Wang and opposite her was the Prince.

The meeting proceeded as usual and the neutral faction couldn't help but scratch their heads. It was so normal that it was abnormal.

However, unlike what some people thought, until the end of the gathering, nothing unusual happened.

Rumors were just rumors. Wangye and Junwang didn't have a falling out. Whoever spread the false news that these two were finally fighting for power?

Tsk busy bodies who didn't know anything but sow discord.

Naturally, the news of the Prince moving out of the wangfu would reach the Mo family.

Mo Quan sat behind his desk rubbing his chin. "What does the King mean? Is she distancing herself from her brother?"

He spoke his thoughts aloud. After all, there was only his daughter here.

"Father's thinking is not correct. It's more accurate to say that the Prince wants to distance himself."

Mo Zhilan's soft sweet voice didn't change.

"The sword doesn't lie. His strikes look gentle and upright but it hid ambition and hunger for power."

Head Mo sighed. "Zhilan, I know dad sent you to learn the way of the Samurai when you were younger but if you always speak like that, dad will lose his cute daughter."

Miss Mo only deadpanned at her father. She was telling the truth just now.

She attacked the Prince to test him and she learned that Ping Junwang was a diamond in the rough. He was someone who didn't know his true worth.

Like a lost lamb in the middle of the plains.

Since her childhood, Mo Zhilan knew there was something different about herself.

Maybe some people would call it sixth sense and some others would condemn her for practicing black arts.

But there was always a silent voice telling her how special people would be in her life. Some type of clairvoyance perhaps? Or a direct order from the stars?

She didn't know. Her father had gone all the way in helping her discover the mysteries of her mind. Alas, no one could help her.

And she could only learn on her own.

When she first saw the Prince, the King and Gentleman Feng enter the Mo Mansion, every part of her body screamed at her. All her senses tingled and she felt restless and dizzy.

So she acted on impulse.

She could understand feeling odd about the Prince. He was going to be her fiancé after all. He would make a great impact on her life whether the wedding pushed through or not.
