273 My Answer

Yang Xian finally sighed. He stretched his body. "You know me very well, Your Highness."

"I didn't raise you for nothing."

"You speak as if I'm your child." Yang Xian chuckled. Though, it was partially true since he was raised by Prince Ji Sheng ever since he was a brat. It was thanks to Prince Ji Sheng that he could become who he is right now. 

"I have to make sure that I can keep you all around. It's impossible for me to be the leader without having capable subordinates around me." Prince Ji Sheng looked into a distance. "There's a limit to what I can do by myself."

Yang Xian didn't immediately reply. He still could remember that when they first met, he was nothing more than a little schemer who lived by duping others and scraped by on the border. It was Prince Ji Sheng who offered his hands to help him out during that situation. Even now, Yang Xian could never forget that moment.
