The young Emperor and the Ji brothers were taken aback by what they heard. They couldn't immediately digest the news Princess Ata had delivered.
"'Could it be that the Divine Soul of the King of Nanjiang has already been consumed by the Great Wizard of Nanjiang?' the young Emperor muttered. 'So, the current King of Nanjiang is actually the Great Wizard of Nanjiang?'"
Ji Youze noticed a hint of desolation on Princess Ata's face. He suddenly recalled her mumbling from the day before and felt an inexplicable sympathy for her. "If that's truly the case," he said, "he must have been scheming for years. Besides wanting to ignite a war across the lands, I'm afraid he has other, unspeakable objectives."
Princess Ata added to Ji Youze's words, "His clearest goal is to provoke war, not just between the Great Han and Nanjiang, but also involving Xiling, Nanyue, and Dongjin!"
Ji Youze, the young Emperor, and Ji Youzhi all turned their heads to look at her.
