Chapter 484: Heading Toward the Capital 1

Upon noticing that His Excellency was keeping silent, Zhu Shen could not help but call out, "Your Excellency?"

"Zhu Shen," Li Ruoxuan said suddenly.

"Yes?" Zhu Shen promptly responded.

Lu Ruoxuan stroked his chin. He smiled somewhat amusedly and said, "If I kill Qi Qingyao, Si Jin will surely kill me in turn, right?"

"That is… a certainty." Zhu Shen could not understand the madness of what His Excellency was saying. He reminded, "Your Excellency, you can't kill Si Jin." 'Even if you've ascended to grand mastership, you're still not even as powerful as Pang Juan was. And Pang Juan still died at Si Jin's hands, so you'd be even more likely to perish.' "Besides, Qi Qingyao has been summoned by the Empress. Even if you're angry, you'll have to hold it in for now." 

Li Ruoxuan said, "I was just saying."

Zhu Shen, "...??"

Was that really 'just saying'?

That seemed more like 'wanting', but this 'want' was not realistically feasible.
