TFWYH – Chapter 827 Going to See Ling Shang

The Crown Prince Tang Fengji was also confined together with Ling Shang.

However, he was far more lively than Ling Shang. In just a little over ten days, he had already become friends with the guards assigned to watch them.

They were only one step away from swearing brotherhood.

Because of this, he had gradually become familiar with the Heavenly Dynasty.

How should he put it?

This place was simply a paradise for men!

He no longer wanted to go back. Every now and then, he would run over to Ling Shang and repeatedly express his desire to settle here permanently.

For example, today.

As usual, Ling Shang was quietly playing chess against himself.

Tang Fengji sat beside him, staring at the game.

Honestly…

He was extremely annoying.

Ling Shang placed a stone before finally speaking.

“If you’re not afraid of General Yue’s daughter coming after you, then stay. But don’t say I didn’t warn you. The young General Wu Yue has quite a temper. She may think the Heavenly Dynasty has detained you. If she loses her temper and leads troops here, you’ll become a sinner for all eternity.”

Tang Fengji fell silent.

The young General Wu Yue was the daughter of Feng Kingdom’s Cavalry General, only a year older than him.

That woman had liked him ever since they were children. To appease the Cavalry General, the Empress had arranged for the two of them to be together.

Just thinking about that fiery, hot-tempered woman gave Tang Fengji a headache.

Wait…

Something suddenly occurred to him.

He glared at Ling Shang.

“Don’t think you can fool me! Didn’t you have me disguise myself as Wanniang back then because you were planning to abandon me?”

Ling Shang raised an eyebrow.

“Do you think you would have died?”

Tang Fengji exploded.

“I survived because I was lucky! Do you know Ling Yu had his hand around my throat? If someone hadn’t stopped him, I’d already be dead! Do you know that? Do you?”

“Oh.” Ling Shang replied indifferently without looking up. “Being able to exchange your life for Wanniang’s return would have been an honor.”

Tang Fengji was speechless.

He was furious.

He really wanted to hit someone.

I’m a prince, you know!

“Your Spirit Clan is way too arrogant.”

After throwing out those words, Tang Fengji stormed off in a huff.

Ling Shang didn’t even raise his eyes.

He couldn’t be bothered with him.

Arrogant?

That was because the Spirit Clan had the qualifications to be arrogant.

Besides, compared to the Clan Leader, he himself wasn’t even particularly arrogant.

At that moment, a female guard came in to report.

“National Preceptor, Princess Wengnai and Lord Ling have arrived.”

Ling Shang slowly lifted his gaze and looked at her coldly.

The guard’s heart skipped a beat. She immediately lowered her head and corrected herself.

“The Imperial Grandchild and Lord Ling have arrived.”

“Show them in.”

Only then did Ling Shang lower his eyes again and casually scatter the chess pieces across the board.

“Yes.”

The guard wiped the sweat from her brow and hurried out to escort them in.

A moment later, Ling Yu and Tang Wan entered hand in hand.

Ling Shang’s gaze fell upon their clasped hands, and his eyes darkened slightly.

“You wanted to see me?” Tang Wan asked.

Ling Shang came back to himself and calmly shifted his gaze away.

When he looked at Tang Wan again, a gentle smile rested on his lips.

“Yes. Come, have a seat.”

He treated her as though they were old friends reunited after a long separation, as if nothing unpleasant had ever happened between them.

Tang Wan frowned slightly, her expression complicated.

The Doctor looked the same…

Yet somehow, he had changed.

Only when she felt the chill radiating from the person beside her, and noticed Ling Yu’s grip on her hand tightening, did she snap back to reality.

She squeezed Ling Yu’s hand in return before leading him to sit opposite Ling Shang.

Throughout the entire exchange, Ling Shang completely ignored Ling Yu. He merely pushed the bowl containing the black stones toward Tang Wan.

“Care for a game?”

Tang Wan shook her head.

“I don’t enjoy playing Go.”

Ling Shang arched an eyebrow.

“Afraid you’ll lose?”
