1833: A Difficult Choice

A Difficult Choice

Sefiro was so angry that her face twisted.1

She threw a dirty look at Feng Xun.

Feng Xun said happily, "What did I tell you?"

Sefiro snorted.

Now that all the 12 people had rolled the dice, apart from the two swords Feng Xun and Xuan Yi found, no one else had found anything valuable.

The new round started.

Needless to say, the second prince was the first to roll the dice.

Feng Xun teased him. "Your Highness, why don't you try praying to Feng Wu?"

The second prince didn't actually hold a lot of grudges against Feng Wu, so he smiled and said, "Do you think so? Since you've made it sound so miraculous, I'll give it a go."

The white fairy smiled at Feng Wu. "So, shall we give him a reward?"

Feng Wu hesitated. Of these people, apart from Feng Xun and Xuan Yi, if she had to choose another person to give a reward to, the second prince would be the next candidate.

"Give him a Level 3 item," Feng Wu said grumpily.

When the second prince opened the lattice —

"A Semi-sacred Reinforcing Pill?" It was difficult to tell if the second prince was happy or disappointed.

Compared with the others, that pill was a good reward. But compared with what Feng Xun and Xuan Yi received, the pill was nothing.

"Well, it's better than nothing." Taking the pill, the second prince was ready to go back to his friends.

"That's because you weren't sincere enough," Feng Xun said with a smile. "It's the same as praying to Buddha for help. Your prayer will only be answered if you're sincere. Otherwise, why should Buddha or God help you?"

The second prince said, "Why do you say that I wasn't sincere?"

Feng Xun asked, "You were?"

The second prince said, "Of course!"

Feng Xun gave him a meaningful smile. "So, you were very sincere, but I'm confused. When I came in just then, didn't you accuse Xiao Wu of killing Zuo Qingyu and trying to kill Princess Jun Wuxia? And you said that she told you so before she passed out.

"If she really did, then, Your Royal Highness, are you that cold-blooded that you would pray to an enemy and ignore your own family?"

Feng Xun might seem very silly and careless at times, but he could be very reliable in critical moments.

This time, he found the flaw in the second prince's argument and pressed on.

Even Feng Wu wanted to clap her hands for him.

Nice move! He had practically caught the second prince out in his lie.

If the second prince admitted that he had called Feng Wu a murderer earlier, he would be a heartless brother.

If he denied that he had said such a thing, then why did he remain silent when Zuo Qingxian accused Feng Wu of being the murderer?

Therefore, no matter what his answer was, it would be the wrong answer.

The second prince's face turned livid.

He stared at Feng Xun with his cold eyes, as if he wanted to tear him to pieces.

Feng Xun wasn't intimidated.

Yes, he was the second prince, but he was nowhere near as intimidating as Jun Linyuan was.

Therefore, the angrier the second prince became, the brighter Feng Xun's smile was.

The second prince took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

It was time he made a choice.

It was between his own reputation and Zuo Qingxian's, so of course he knew which one to choose.
