Zhizhou: \"You're An Official, But You're Raising A Bunch Of Demonesses?

Chapter 54 If Bai Yu Is Facing You, Have You Ever Won?

Chapter 54: If Bai Yu were in front of you, could you win?

"I'll tell you one more thing."

Looking at the slightly dazed Crown Princess, Lan Su continued, "This demon is too dangerous. I feel that I can't control him, so my first decision is to kill him!"

"Uh..."

The murderous words made Lan Xi shudder suddenly, as if she had become more awake.

"I invited him into the palace, but he came openly, facing the tightly guarded surroundings and shining blades... yet he remained fearless."

"He stood in the same position as you, and with a resolute tone, he said to me, 'Your Majesty cannot kill me.'"

"Even..."

That brat even mentioned some nightmares that I have been constantly recalling these past few days.

Lan Su didn't say the second half of the sentence.

"This..."

Such arrogance and recklessness,

It seems that, indeed, those are the words that person could say.

After all, when he first met her, that playboy guessed her identity and even said some frivolous words.

In front of the Emperor, with his temperament, it was not impossible.

Of course, Lan Xi couldn't have imagined,

Bai Yu's words here are so exaggerated.

"These past few days, I have been thinking about what he relies on to say such words as 'I cannot kill him.'"

"My personal guards have no connection with him, he is just a healthy scholar from a respectable family. It is also impossible for him to have planted any forces within my palace."

Thinking about it, I can't come up with any methods to protect him.

But he himself is so confident, confident to the point where I inexplicably believe him.

Lan Su recalled the arrogant and unrestrained appearance of the young man, silently lowering his gaze.

He asked Lan Xi, who had a surprised expression on her face, "Do you know what this represents?"

Lan Xi shook her head gently, "I don't know, Your Majesty."

Lan Su extended two fingers and pointed towards her, saying, "Two possibilities!"

"One, he indeed possesses unimaginable and mysterious means beyond my expectations, allowing him to be safe within my tightly guarded palace."

"Two, he doesn't have any means to protect himself, but he confidently came before me, creating something out of nothing, using himself as a bet, believing that he can deceive me and prevent me from killing him."

"Now I realize, I increasingly feel... he is the latter!"

Lan Xi: ...

"If it's the former, it means he has extraordinary abilities, outstanding methods, and numerous hidden cards."

"If it's the latter... then he is even more terrifying! His control over people's hearts, the use of his aura, and his calculation of timing have reached an unimaginable level! He is a madman, gambling with his own life without caring at all, and his confidence has reached a state close to madness."

The old emperor has been in power for a long time, and being suspicious is a basic quality of an emperor.

He is calculating too much beyond imagination.

It's no wonder that his thoughts have become a bit distorted.

Bai Yu, on the other hand, is not crazy and would never do anything risky.

He himself didn't expect that a simple meeting with the emperor would turn the emperor into his die-hard fan.

"He's only sixteen years old, but his courage, confidence, tolerance, wisdom, means, and thoughts have already surpassed the limits of understanding. He's a madman, he's uncontrollable."

"A person like him is a demonic minister, and it may not happen for hundreds of years."

"But we must follow him, not oppose him."

"He knows what he wants! What he seeks is not just wealth and power, not the supreme position, but the everlasting achievements that will last for generations to come."

"I'm just an ordinary king, following the rules. Although my position is higher than his now, when time expands infinitely, I will only be a foil to this brilliant demonic minister."

Lan Su shook his head, admitting as a king that he was inferior to others, which was rare.

"I'm getting old, and to have the fortune of meeting this person in my twilight years is my luck."

"But he's only sixteen now... sooner or later, my position will be passed on to you."

"Lan Xi, answer me, if Bai Yu supports you, can Lan Chi defeat you?"

His gaze was intense as he asked Lan Xi.

"Impossible!"

Lan Xi regained her senses and said firmly.

By now, she seemed to understand the reason behind the previous statement from her father, the emperor, about choosing the next crown prince based on Bai Yu's attitude.

She couldn't win!

"What if Bai Yu supports Lan Chi, can you win?"

Lan Su was not surprised by this answer.

He looked at Lan Xi's eyes seriously and continued to ask.

"Well..."

Lan Xi hesitated.

That carefree and confident scholar stood in front of her with a playful smile... right?

"I don't know."

She gritted her teeth and said stubbornly.

"I see..."

The old emperor felt a bit disappointed.

He asked this question, but Bai Yu was not the most important factor.
