Su Rong lifted her eyelids with lethargy, "Is it that obvious?"

Su Rong sighed and laid her head on the table, "Father, what do you think about me going to the Southern three states?"

Su Rong looked at him with sad eyes, "You are the King, don't you think it's a bit shameful to say that?"

The Nanchu King coughed, "Well, it's the truth."
