"When I was chatting with Zhou Liecheng, he once invited me to attend their Zhou Family's ancestral ceremony next month," Leng Ming shared the suspicion he had discovered with Jiang Chen. "He said he would openly challenge for the position of Family Head that day, forcing Zhou Jiang to step down, and wanted me to attend the ceremony. He even hinted that I should bring the retired emperor with me!"
"Hinted to bring the retired emperor with us?!" Jiang Chen was momentarily dazed, and his brow furrowed again.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Chen couldn't figure it out.

"Okay."
Leng Ming nodded in agreement.
