章節 498: Chapter 369_2

Liu Xu took sick leave to stay at home, one reason was to avoid the ridicule of others, and another was that I was truly afraid my son might fall victim to others' malice.

Wanting to stay out of sight for a few days to buffer, now he was heading to the King's palace, it was time to talk business again.

By doing so, Liu Xu obviously intended to keep a tight grip on his own power.

Having not attended court these past few days, he was still up to date with the court's news, thanks to his informants.

The King, that spineless man, knowing full well the schemes he had been playing, dared not target him openly.

Of course, Liu Xu understood the King's mind—he needed Ye Tian, he needed the help of the Guardian God Family, yet he fostered both his and the Saint Elder's factions, the three families mutually restraining each other. Only a fool would be unaware of such a political ploy.

Only foolishly loyal people would be loyal to him.
