Shen Rui returned to Long Zhao Feng's estate in the evening. As soon as he came back, he requested to meet with both Long Zhao Feng and Xiao Yue alone.
The little boy stood in front of the two adults anxiously. Long Zhao Feng leaned casually against the desk and Xiao Yue sat in front of Shen Rui.
"I would like to make a bargain," he softly said.
"What bargain?" Long Zhao Feng asked.
Shen Rui's eyes were directed at Long Zhao Feng at first, but then they moved and stopped at Xiao Yue's face.
"I would like to reclaim my right over the King's throne in the Meng Kingdom. For that purpose, I would like to enlist General Long and Miss Xiao Yue's help."
