My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Zhou Qingxu saw that Cheng Guang had finally gotten to the point and couldn’t help but brace himself. After straightening up slightly, he said to Cheng Guang:

“Princely Heir, please go ahead.”

“As long as it is within my ability, I will certainly help the Princely Heir, and I hope that in the future, the Princely Heir and I will keep to our own paths.”

Cheng Guang gave a noncommittal nod, then tapped the tea table with one hand and began slowly:

“My goal is quite simple, that is, I want to join Great Tang.”

After Cheng Guang’s words were spoken.

Zhou Qingxu was clearly taken aback, followed by a moment that seemed like he was stunned.

He stared blankly at Cheng Guang for a good while.

He looked at Cheng Guang with disbelief.

It seemed he didn’t understand at all why Cheng Guang would say such a thing.

At the same time.

Zhou Qingxu’s mind seemed to be stuck, failing to respond for a long time, momentarily unable to act.

“Princely Heir, you want to join Great Tang?”

Zhou Qingxu repeated the question.

Cheng Guang nodded slightly and chuckled, “Why, can’t I join Great Tang?”

Zhou Qingxu shook his head, instinctively wanting to refuse, but then thought of Cheng Guang’s unpredictable methods.

Naturally, ordinary people cannot join Great Tang.

But for Cheng Guang, the Duke of the State’s Heir…

Perhaps it’s not impossible.

“Given the Princely Heir’s status and capabilities, joining Great Tang is certainly possible.”

“However…”

Zhou Qingxu frowned, eyeing Cheng Guang, “However, I do not understand the Princely Heir’s purpose in joining Great Tang.”

“Within Great Tang, there are innumerable strong individuals. Even as a singular being, barely noticeable within Great Tang, I could still sweep through the vast majority of Sky-Men in this world.”

“There are many in Great Tang who are not less powerful than I. If the Princely Heir sincerely wishes to join Great Tang, that’s fine, but if there are other motives, I’m afraid it won’t end well.”

The intention behind Zhou Qingxu’s words at this moment was quite obviously to refuse Cheng Guang.

Just not so overtly.

Cheng Guang didn’t mind and simply said, “You needn’t worry about me. Is it that you do not wish for me to join Great Tang, or do you mean something else?”

As he spoke, Cheng Guang observed Zhou Qingxu.

Zhou Qingxu shook his head, “This time I’ve fallen into the Princely Heir’s hands, and it’s my own incompetence. I dare not trouble you again myself, nor will I conspire with others to cause you trouble, so you can rest easy, Princely Heir.”

“I say this merely in consideration of the Princely Heir.”

“If the Princely Heir is truly intent on joining Great Tang, I need to go back and report this first. Whether to allow the Princely Heir to join Great Tang or not is not for me to decide.”

Cheng Guang listened to Zhou Qingxu’s words, and his eyebrows slightly raised.

Hearing him speak,

It was clear that Zhou Qingxu’s status and power in Great Tang was not the highest.

Great Tang had just been established, and they would naturally be cautious in attracting members.

When he says he has to go back and report, it probably means informing the main person behind the scenes in Great Tang.

The big boss behind Great Tang has yet to show himself, and Cheng Guang also doesn’t know who that person might be.

But it’s not hard to guess.

Their power must far surpass anything Cheng Guang could imagine.

Additionally.

Cheng Guang also realized that when Zhou Qingxu said he would report back and that he would not trouble Cheng Guang in the future, it was nothing more than an offhand remark.

There were no vows sworn on the great path, nor any promises made.

For Zhou Qingxu, it was merely a matter of moving his lips, not the slightest bit difficult.

Cheng Guang didn’t completely trust Zhou Qingxu and couldn’t help but sigh to himself.

It seemed saving an Emperor’s Face Token was not going to be easy.

The Emperor’s Face Token could be used only once, and Cheng Guang thought, if he could save it, he should.

So looking at Zhou Qingxu, he decided to give him another chance.

Cheng Guang then said:

“In that case, Mr. Zhou, please make a vow on the great path.”

Cheng Guang’s words, when they reached Zhou Qingxu’s ears, made Zhou Qingxu’s complexion subconsciously shift, but he quickly regained his composure.

If Cheng Guang hadn’t been attentively observing Zhou Qingxu, he himself might not have noticed the flicker of emotion in Zhou Qingxu’s expression at that moment.

Zhou Qingxu pretended to be indifferent and said, “Of course, that is possible.”

“I, Zhou Qingxu, hereby swear an oath, I will certainly strive for the Princely Heir to have a chance to join Great Tang…”

Zhou Qingxu hadn’t finished speaking when Cheng Guang interrupted him.

“Your oath must include two points.”

Zhou Qingxu was momentarily taken aback, “What two points?”

Cheng Guang shook his head slowly before raising a single finger.

“First, Mr. Zhou, you must let me meet the person behind Great Tang.”

“Second, Mr. Zhou, you must never harbor any thoughts of harming me from now on.”

Cheng Guang put forth these two demands and Zhou Qingxu’s expression slowly darkened. His face involuntarily twitched, looking extremely unnatural.

Zhou Qingxu’s normally good composure was unable to hold up in front of Cheng Guang, dissipating completely.

“Meet the person behind Great Tang? Princely Heir, could it be that you wish to meet the Great Tang Emperor?”

“The Human Emperor is not someone you can just meet, even I might not be able to meet him.”

Zhou Qingxu reflexively said, looking toward Cheng Guang with an unmistakable look of astonishment in his eyes.

From Zhou Qingxu’s words, Cheng Guang had learned something new.

The Great Tang Emperor?

The Human Emperor?

Could this Great Tang Emperor be the future ruler of the Tang dynasty, ascending to the throne?
