Prince Jiu's face was quickly turning into a dark cloud, his mouth twitching incessantly as he spoke through gritted teeth, "Fine, he's doing fine."
The black-robed elder burst into laughter upon hearing this, "Very good, very good indeed. Since the First Prince is unharmed, I can leave with peace of mind."
"No, Senior, you cannot leave," he hurriedly spoke, "Changfu was once the Senior Elder appointed by my father, the Emperor. Now, he has sacrificed himself to protect me, and I have no other Senior Elders by my side."
"So, I implore you, Senior, to become my Senior Elder."
After Prince Jiu finished speaking, he earnestly looked at the black-robed elder.
