Qing Lian said, "Prince, you should return.
You respect me for my poetry.
But in truth, the poetry was just a small ploy to get close to you.
As for your son, he certainly isn't the reason.
The real reason I approached you was to see if you have the potential to become the new master of this world.
But it seems you are not the ideal candidate, so I'm preparing to leave."
The Benevolent King was taken aback.

Some were even preparing to rebel.
The Benevolent King knew this, of course.
However, he was comparatively less radical.
He just wanted to avoid being swallowed up.
