Is It for Sale (3)

"That's a great question!" Huyan Yichen gloated. "Of course, little Feng Xun gave me the materials himself!"2

Huyan Yichen was elated.

He had thought that Feng Xun had set him up and had been trying to take revenge all these years, but as it turned out… He wasn't humiliated but had taken advantage of Feng Xun instead.

Princess Rao was confused. "Feng Xun is here in Northern Yan?"

Feng Wu was equally confused. Did Princess Rao know Feng Xun? In that case, did she know Jun Linyuan as well?

Huyan Yichen waved his hand. "I've refined all the materials from that pile of iron and only made one arm. If you want more, go to Feng Xun. I can't help you."

Princess Rao nodded, gave the arm on Feng Wu's arm another long look, then left.

As soon as Princess Rao was gone, Huyan Yichen let out a breath of relief. "Finally, she's gone."

Feng Wu smiled at him. "Are you afraid of her?"

Huyan Yichen said, "Of course not! I'm not afraid of her! I'm just a gentleman!"

Feng Wu shrugged, as if saying, "If you say so."

Huyan Yichen glanced at Feng Wu and looked concerned. "But… you have to be careful. From now on, don't leave the house unless you have to. If you must go out, bring me or Iron Tower with you. Got it?"

Feng Wu said, "So, you're saying that she'll take the arm from me?"

Huyan Yichen said, "You're underestimating her. Princess Rao has more capable men than you can count. She's one of His Majesty's heirs."

Feng Wu asked curiously, "Can your princess be the successor to the throne as well?"

Huyan Yichen nodded. "According to His Majesty, the royal family doesn't have any children but only heirs. We're doing this to make Northern Yan stronger.

"For instance, His Majesty isn't the previous king's son but a cousin.

"Because His Majesty's sons were either mediocre or useless. They couldn't lead Northern Yan to greatness.

"The crown prince and Princess Rao will compete for the throne in the end.

"That's why I said that Princess Rao wasn't to be trifled with because she may be the next successor." Huyan Yichen shrugged. "But even if she becomes the Queen, I won't show her any courtesy!"

Feng Wu sighed inwardly. The countries around the Junwu Empire weren't all incredible forces.

The Dongsang Kingdom had a blood tax system, and the Northern Yan Kingdom had a conglomerate system in that the heir to the throne wasn't limited to the ruler's offspring. The Junwu Empire was the only one that had a monarchy. Luckily, Jun Linyuan was the crown prince. If the second prince were to become the future emperor, the Junwu Empire might not be able to survive.

Recalling what happened earlier, Feng Wu asked curiously, "Do you have grudges against that prince from before?"

Huyan Yichen looked embarrassed when the subject was brought up.

Feng Wu waved her hands. "If you don't want to talk about it…"

Huyan Yichen mumbled, "It's not like I can't tell you…"

He looked up and saw that his grandfather had left.

"I can tell you," said Huyan Yichen. "You're living with us now, and to Huyan Hongjun, you're on our side. He won't let you off the hook when he tries to hurt me."
