Chapter 1400: Envy Me

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Although it was wrong to think this way, he really felt that it was true. He could not believe that Marquess Ning was no match for Zhan Beiye. It was really surprising.

It made him so curious to find out who they were!

“Your Highness, Marquess Ning is here.”

Zhan Beiye was discussing something with his deputy generals in the study when a servant rushed in.

He looked up in confusion. Why was Marquess Ning here? And why was everything so calm? Was there no fighting outside?

Zhan Beiye realized that the old man did not barge in. He openly sent a message to look for him, right?

“Since when did Marquess Ning become so polite?” He chuckled and joked with the deputy generals. “You may leave first and carry out my instructions. We’ll discuss the rest later.”

“Yes, we’ll take our leave.” The deputy generals left.

“Invite him to the main hall,” Zhan Beiye instructed the servant.

“Yes, Your Highness,” the servant replied and hurried to the door to invite Marquess Ning in.

Zhan Beiye did not wait in the main hall. Instead, Marquess Ning arrived first and was served with tea. After waiting for a long time, Zhan Beiye finally arrived.

Marquess Ning looked at the relaxed Zhan Beiye and chuckled. However, the smile on his face disappeared when he saw a faceless man accompanying Zhan Beiye.

He was very familiar with this person. It was the paper effigy that had kicked him three times. The couple had really given it to Zhan Beiye!

“You’ve truly made some good friends, Prince Zhan. They even gave you such a grand gift! Hah!” He sneered at the paper effigy.

“Are you jealous that you don’t have such good friends, or do you envy me, Marquess Ning?” Zhan Beiye retorted.

He was indeed capable! He had taken a fancy to Qian Jiyun at a glance. So what?

Being green with envy was useless.

Marquess Ning frowned and remained silent, tapping the table beside him with one hand.

He asked Zhan Beiye, “Prince Zhan, you should know why I’m here today, right? Let’s lay our cards on the table. Are you really not planning to return to Zhanling Empire?

“You’re the Prince of Zhanling Empire and the child of the Emperor. Do you really want to be condemned by the world for doing this?”

“Marquess Ning, you’re exaggerating.”

Zhan Beiye sat down in the main seat, his face calm, showing no concern for Marquess Ning’s words.

“The winner takes all. This is an unchanging principle. The world won’t condemn me for achieving these accomplishments with my own strength. And so what if someone criticizes me? I’ll make sure they know the gravity of slandering me!”

“It seems like you really don’t intend to turn back, Prince Zhan!”

Marquess Ning’s gaze was indifferent. He knew he could not persuade Zhan Beiye to return. He had only come here to clarify things so that he could silence the Zhanling Emperor.

‘You won’t even consider your maternal family? They’re still in Zhanling Empire. Your soldiers’ families are all in Zhanling Empire. Do you think they would sincerely stay behind just for you?”

“Marquess Ning, you don’t have to worry about this for me. I have my own plans..”
