"Speaking of Zhou Aotian, who had been unable to make a breakthrough in his cultivation, his fiancée broke off their engagement. Then he obtained a jade ring..."
"He said to his ex-fiancée, 'Better to wrong an old man than to underestimate a poor youth!'"
The King of Zhou and the King of Chu entered the capital city of Jing Country in disguise, accompanied by their attendants. They chose the busiest inn and stayed in the best room. Soon, they heard storytelling from downstairs.
It was the tale of Zhou Aotian's rise to power through cultivation after being jilted, with the help of his spiritual grandfather!
"Let's go down and listen!" The King of Zhou perked up. "I wonder what happened to Zhou Aotian after chapter 30, and if he made his ex-fiancée regret her decision."
"My lord, we should be careful. We're in the capital of Jing Country now," warned a tall, imposing middle-aged attendant behind the King of Zhou.
"It's fine. We're already here," the King of Zhou waved dismissively.
The King of Chu, now dressed in silk robes, walked out of the room nonchalantly with his hands behind his back. "Little Zhou, if you're afraid, just stay here."
"I'll listen to the story and tell you about it later," the King of Chu said fearlessly as he went downstairs with his servant.
The King of Chu wasn't worried about Jing Country discovering his identity or assassins attacking him. He had left Princess Yunwu in charge of state affairs, and a Jing Country expert had told him his death omen had passed, so he should be safe now. Besides, he was now an ally of Jing Country, and he should be safe in Xiao Yunzhou's territory.
The King of Chu was clever and bold, but as he walked out of the inn, he still felt for the talisman from the Jing Country expert in his sleeve, breathing a sigh of relief when he confirmed it was there.
"Old Chu, if you're not afraid of death, neither am I!" The King of Zhou laughed heartily as he followed closely behind. "Have you heard? The safest way to hide someone is to put them in plain sight."
The King of Zhou was quite conspicuous, fearlessly wearing fine silks as he walked out of the inn openly. "Who would think we'd appear here? Where's the danger?"
The King of Chu's pupils constricted. As expected of the ruler of Zhou Xing Kingdom, his courage and boldness were truly remarkable! No wonder the Yuan King sought to cooperate with Zhou Xing Kingdom in attacking Jing Country. The King of Zhou was ambitious and fearless!
"Brother Chu, I want to hear the rest of this story about Zhou Aotian being jilted. I'll leave Jing Country after he gets married and has his moment of triumph," the King of Zhou said casually as he walked alongside the King of Chu.
The King of Chu's eye twitched.
Listen to the whole story before attacking Jing Country? But it has over 2,000 chapters! The King of Chu's mouth twitched.
"It's fine, we have nothing else to do anyway," said the King of Zhou. He hadn't given himself time to relax in a long while, so now that he was in Jing Country, he might as well see and hear more to unwind.
"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Don't underestimate a poor youth."
Could it be that Jing Country, like Zhou Aotian, might suddenly have a chance to turn the tables?
"Over 2,000 chapters," the King of Zhou, who was usually always reading, wasn't afraid of books. "Let's pay some silver to have dozens of storytellers write it down."
