Qin Haodong was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I am not interested in being an official, let alone being a king. I think Xingyue has good abilities, you should train her, I can provide enough support!"
Zhao Xianlong said: "Why? Isn't it good to be a king? One person is inferior to ten thousand people and has the power to control the entire kingdom.
The eldest grandsons Chengdu and Wu Yueniang have worked hard for so many years to put their son on the throne, and this is why."
Qin Haodong waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty, everyone has his own ambitions, so don't force me. I really don't want to be a king."
"Well, if you really don't want to, forget it." Zhao Xianlong sighed and said, "I can see that you are definitely the best among people. You are not even willing to be the king. So what is your ideal?"
Qin Haodong said: "There is only one thing I have to do, and that is to quickly improve my cultivation, and then do something extremely important to me."
"Oh!" Zhao Xingyue said, "Can you tell us what it is? My father and I can help you!"
Qin Haodong said: "Only I can do this myself, others can't help."
Regarding the space loophole that allows him to return to Earth, he will never tell anyone else about this secret. After all, people are sinister. Once it is known by other people with ulterior motives, it will bring disaster to the Earth.
Zhao Xianlong said: "Will this matter of yours take a long time? How about you come back and inherit the throne after you finish the matter?"
Qin Haodong said: "I can't say when my affairs will be finished. Even if it is finished, I have no interest in being the king."
"Well, since you don't want to, I won't force you anymore."
Zhao Xianlong said regretfully.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Haodong said, "Your Majesty, we will return to Xuanwu Academy early tomorrow morning."
Zhao Xianlong said: "Are you in such a hurry? You can definitely stay in the royal city for a while before leaving."
Qin Haodong said: "No, we have been out for a long time. The day of the North-South College Competition is coming soon. We have to hurry back."
Seeing that Qin Haodong was about to leave, Zhao Xingyue said: "Father, I want to go back too."
"This is absolutely not possible. Now my father only has one daughter. You must stay with me to learn how to handle state affairs. In the future, the Xuanwu Kingdom will be left to you."
"But……"
Zhao Xingyue looked at Qin Haodong with eyes full of reluctance.
Zhao Xianlong said firmly: "There is nothing wrong with it. Even if you sneak out this time, I will go to Xuanwu Academy to catch you."
Qin Haodong said: "Xingyue, it is really not suitable for you to return to Xuanwu Academy now. It is better to stay in the palace with peace of mind. We will come to see you when we have time."
Zhao Xingyue could only say helplessly: "Okay, remember what you said!"
After dinner, it was almost late at night. Zhao Xingyue did not let Qin Haodong return to the inn, but kept him in his palace.
He washed briefly and was about to go to bed when the door opened and Zhao Xingyue, wearing a pair of black lace underwear, walked in from outside.
"Uh... Xingyue, why are you here?"
This black lace pajamas forms a sharp contrast with Zhao Xingyue's fair skin. The sexy and attractive collarbones, fair and slender thighs, coupled with the exquisite curves, have a strong temptation for any man.
Although it was not the first time he watched it, Qin Haodong still felt a little thirsty.
Zhao Xingyue's cheeks were rosy and she didn't say anything. She pushed Qin Haodong down on the bed, then got on the bed and lay next to him. She hugged his arms tightly with her two arms and pressed her hot cheek against his shoulder.
A warm and soft feeling came over him, but Qin Haodong felt stiff all over. He said: "Xing
Yue, what are you doing?"
"Brother Qin, you are leaving tomorrow, so please take me tonight."
As she spoke, Zhao Xingyue's eyes were closed tightly, her cheeks were red as if she was about to bleed, and her voice was like a mosquito. If it weren't for Qin Haodong's amazing hearing, he wouldn't have been able to hear what she was saying.
Patting Zhao Xingyue on the shoulder, he said: "We have only known each other for a short time, and we are not suitable for each other yet!"
Zhao Xingyue suddenly raised her head and said: "Brother Qin, you have already participated in my martial arts contest and proposed marriage, don't you want to regret it?"
Qin Haodong said: "Xingyue, in fact, the martial arts competition is just a formality. The purpose at that time was to deal with Wu Yueniang. We still have a long way to go in the future, so there is no need to rush."
Zhao Xingyue said: "But Brother Qin, I really like you. I can't bear to let you go. Why don't you stay? My father has said that you will be the king, and I want to be your princess."
Qin Haodong smiled and said: "You are thinking too simply. I really don't want to be a king. Even if I wanted to be your father, I would not agree. It is impossible for him to hand over the Xuanwu Kingdom to an outsider like me."
Zhao Xingyue said with a different look on her face: "But my father said it himself during dinner today that he wants you to be the king."
"If you want to inherit your father's throne, you still have a lot to learn. Let's learn slowly in the future."
Zhao Xingyue asked doubtfully: "I don't understand what you mean!"
"What's not clear about this? How can an emperor's heart be so easy to guess?" Qin Haodong said, "If I directly agree or show ecstasy at the banquet today, I'm afraid your father will take action against me at this moment.
."
Zhao Xingyue asked again: "Why? You have helped our Xuanwu royal family a lot this time. Without you, I might not have been able to get rid of the eldest grandson Chengdu and Wu Yueniang, let alone discover Zhao Yu's secret.
My father is very grateful to you, how could he do anything to you?"
"As an emperor, the first thing to do is to be ruthless, be grateful for gratitude, and benefit for benefit."
Qin Haodong said: "There are many reasons for this. In the eyes of your father, I am a person of unknown origin. It is not clear what the purpose of going to the Xuanwu Kingdom is.
Others are easy to handle, but if he wants to control the entire Xuanwu Kingdom, he will not allow it under any circumstances.
You are his daughter, and he can pass the throne to you, but I am an irrelevant person, and I must not get involved in the throne."
A flash of confusion flashed across Zhao Xingyue's face, and then she said: "Is this really the case? But you are my consort, and my father also personally agreed."
Qin Haodong said: "Marriage is marriage, blood is blood, marriage can never replace blood, for example, Wu Yueniang, she is still the princess of your father, but she always has different intentions in her heart.
Some things are irreplaceable. If your father has a son, the throne will definitely not be yours. In the absence of a son, you can only use your daughter to succeed."
There are some words that I haven't fully said yet. Currently, I am full of too many doubts and uncertainties about Zhao Xianlong.
The anti-equipment sniper rifle killed Changsun Chengdu, which not only helped him a lot, but also filled his heart with fear. A person who has the ability to kill a Mahayana master would never believe it.
Moreover, Zhao Xingyue's abilities were not enough, and his personality was relatively simple, so Zhao Xianlong made a series of tests tonight in order to test whether Qin Haodong had ambitions for the throne.
Even if he refused one after another, Zhao Xianlong was not completely relieved, otherwise all he had to do was let him marry Zhao Xingyue instead of letting him leave.
Zhao Xingyue looked dull after hearing this, then calmed down for a moment and said, "I don't think my father is that kind of person."
Qin Haodong said: "This can only be said
, you have always underestimated your father.
Just imagine, a person who has been infected with maggots attached to his bones can still use his own advantages to negotiate terms with the other party. This is definitely not something ordinary people can do.
Moreover, Changsun City is at its peak, and they are collaborating with the Queen. The two of them are extremely powerful, but they can only control a small part of the Xuanwu Kingdom, and most of them are loyal to your father.
What does this mean? It shows his ability."
"This... you men's thoughts are too complicated." Zhao Xingyue said, "I don't think I'm suitable to be a king. How about I go back to Xuanwu Academy with you?"
Qin Haodong said: "This is absolutely impossible, you are now the sole heir of the kingdom, how could I let you go.
If you really want to do that, then hurry up and choose a princess for your father. As long as another son is born, you can regain your freedom."
In fact, Zhao Xianlong's selection of successor was just a formality to prepare for emergencies, and his life span was extended a lot when his cultivation reached the Mahayana stage.
It can be said that he is in his prime now, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will not pass on the throne within a hundred years.
"Okay then." Zhao Xingyue took Qin Haodong's arm again and said with hope, "What will happen between us? When will you come back to see me."
Qin Haodong said: "I don't know either, I can only follow God's arrangements."
He really didn't know what the future would be like, whether he could reopen the passage to the earth, or whether he would stay in Lingwu Continent forever.
Zhao Xingyue slept with Qin Haodong all night, but the two of them just hugged and talked and didn't do anything else out of the ordinary.
The next day, Qin Haodong met with Tu Jiaojiao and others, and then bid farewell to Zhao Xianlong.
Zhao Xianlong was very happy to send away this ignorant young man, but Zhao Xingyue was extremely reluctant to part with him.
She took Qin Haodong's hand and said, "Brother Qin, you must remember to come back to see me."
"Don't worry, I will definitely come back."
Qin Haodong kissed her gently on the forehead, and then left the royal city with everyone.
After leaving the city, everyone recovered their flying abilities and flew towards the Xuanwu Academy.
The Doomsday Forest is very large and lies between Xuanwu Royal City and Xuanwu Academy. If you want to return to Xuanwu Academy, you must pass through here.
Towards evening, they came to the Doomsday Forest.
For safety reasons, they did not fly overnight, but chose to camp at the edge of the forest.
The difference from last time is that now their team is getting smaller and smaller. Besides Qin Haodong, there are still five girls: Tu Jiaojiao, Murong Jinghong, Yun Qianqian, Little Witch and Fang Qiong'er.
These people are all trustworthy, and they all know the secret of the Seventh-Stage Pagoda, so Qin Haodong did not hide anything and took them directly back to the seventh floor of the Seventh-Stage Pagoda.
The spiritual energy here is abundant, suitable for cultivation, and safer than outside.
After coming in, the little witch said cheerfully: "Brother, you brought us five beauties here, didn't you want to do something bad?"
"What's in your head?" Qin Haodong knocked the little witch on the head, and then said, "I brought everyone here for something."
Under the gaze of pairs of beautiful big eyes, he took out a small jade bottle and said: "I have five dragon power pills here, one for each of you. Let's see if it can help you break through your current realm."
He refined nine dragon power pills last time, took one for himself and gave one to Zhao Xianlong, and now there are seven left.
As a seventh-level elixir, Longli Dan is extremely valuable, but these are the closest people in front of him, so he is not stingy.
