Chapter 1245: How did you persuade General Su?

"Then can you tell me why you wanted to help them?" Sovereign Jiazi said with a smile, "I'm just curious — you clearly didn't want to get involved."

Su Yang glanced at Sovereign Jiazi and said casually, "Your curiosity is a little too heavy."

"Fine! Then I won't ask!"

"Actually, even if I told you, it wouldn't matter!"

Looking at Sovereign Jiazi's expectant gaze, Su Yang still decided to speak.

He didn't want to be misunderstood as doing it for Tang Yue's beauty.

Regardless, he was now a man with a family, and he needed to consider Liu Mengyun's feelings.

Sovereign Jiazi's relationship with Liu Mengyun was not bad.

Although Sovereign Jiazi didn't seem like the type to talk nonsense, he still needed to pay a little attention to his own image.

"I'm listening!"

Sovereign Jiazi put on the look of an obedient, refined lady — a stark contrast to her usual style, with a charm all its own.

"The Tang royal family likes reading wuxia novels!"

Sovereign Jiazi's mind went a little blank: "That counts as a reason?"

"One of them!"

"What else?"

"The Tang Kingdom has a Three Sovereigns Temple, and a Confucius Academy!"

Sovereign Jiazi shook her head: "I don't quite understand!"

"Our Huaxia also has a Three Sovereigns Temple — we all consider ourselves descendants of Yan and Huang. Get it now?"

"How do you mean?"

"Sigh! Wooden head!" Su Yang knocked hard on Sovereign Jiazi's forehead, "A common ancestor — you should understand now, right?"

"Seems like I get it!"

"Uh…"

Su Yang stared at Sovereign Jiazi with a look that said she was a hopeless case.

"A common ancestor, and you just treat them like one family?" Sovereign Jiazi said, tugging at her hair, "Oh my! Even if you really share the same ancestor, that was over five thousand years ago… what does that even count for?"

"It doesn't count for much, sure — but it's enough to make me give them a hand!"

"Fine!" Sovereign Jiazi spread her hands, "I can't understand it, but you're the boss — you call the shots!"

In the study, Tang Tian said in pleasant surprise: "What? You're taking General Su to Lin'an City tomorrow?"

"That's right!" Tang Yue nodded, "So I need to ask you for a few days off!"

"Excellent! Simply excellent!"

Tang Tian swung his fist hard.

In her entire life, this was the first time Tang Yue had seen her own grandfather this happy.

"Grandpa, do you really need to be this happy?"

"You don't understand!" Tang Tian said, "General Su actually doesn't care much about our Tang Kingdom. I wanted to keep him for one more day, and he wasn't willing… By the way, Xiao Yue, how did you manage it?"

"Uh… seems like we just chatted!"

"Nothing else?"

"Nothing!" Tang Yue shook her head, "I just chatted with General Su about that song you like, 'A Laugh Across the Vast Sea,' talked about a few books from the Huaxia Federation, chatted a bit about mythological stories. I figured he couldn't possibly be interested in mythology, so I invited him to Lin'an to see the Three Sovereigns Temple and the Confucius Academy… and he agreed!"

Tang Yue wore an expression that said even she didn't understand.

As for Su Yang falling for her — she wasn't that narcissistic.

Su Yang did look at her a few extra times, but that was only because she had read all the books he mentioned…

Tang Yue suspected that if she hadn't read so many leisure books, Su Yang wouldn't have given her the time of day.

Hearing Tang Yue's words, Tang Tian suddenly gazed at the bright moon outside the window… and fell silent.

"What's wrong, Grandpa?"

Tang Tian let out a sigh and suddenly said: "I think I understand — maybe I understand!"

"Understand what?"

"Tomorrow, take General Su to Lin'an City and have a look!" Tang Tian said softly, "Don't bring up anything. Once you're in Lin'an City, don't take Su Yang to see Your Majesty — just take him around the Three Sovereigns Temple area, and mention a bit about our Tang Kingdom's situation. Treat it as casual chat. Don't ask anyone to step in… understand?"

"Will that work?"
