Chapter 851 What Was On Rndo''s Mind (Part One)


    Rndo opened the Heavenly Book he owned. What had been troubling him for the longest time was


    that the final pages of the book were nk. Where there should have been some content on it, the only


    thing staring at him were white spaces after white spaces. Despite his long-time efforts in studying the


    book, he still couldn''t find a way to make anything show itself. He thought that perhaps, only a member


    of the Qin n knew the secrets which were hidden in the pages.


    "What on earth do you think might be concealed in the nk parts of this book?" Rndo


    subconsciously asked out loud. Getting a little tired from years of studying the book, he could only get


    its superficial meaning. He had no idea what secrets might be written between the lines.


    "Your Majesty, since you have studied it for ages, I think you know it very well. Moreover, I still don''t


    think scheming against that couple is a good idea," Miguel firmly said.


    In fact, Rndo already knew that Miguel''s statement made a lot of sense. Matthew was already as


    powerful, cunning, and sophisticated as he was. On the other hand, Harper was a smart and


    resourceful person as well. In the past, she had hidden her talents on purpose, and no one noticed that


    she was an ingenious woman. In the end, Matthew married her, taking Harper on his side, which was


    yet another blessing for that man. It seemed like God had always been smiling to Matthew.


    "Of course I know it''s notpletely wise. But she''s the only one who can reveal the secret of the


    Heavenly Books," Rndo replied.


    "If no one can find the third volume, she won''t be able to solve the problem either." Miguel tried to


    persuade Rndo in giving up the n. In his mind, the Great Jade Kingdom had just settled down


    and it might not survive another battle. If its monarch willfully insisted on carrying out his n to deal


    with Matthew and his wife, then it was quite possible that it would have a war against the Bright


    Dynasty.


    Rndo smiled before saying, "Maybe no one else can find the third volume, but I''m willing to bet that


    Harper can definitely do it. Besides, Matthew could refuse anyone in this world, except Harper. That''s


    why, I must make her stay in our kingdom for as long as I can."


    Miguel totally understood the situation, even if Rndo didn''t thoroughly exin it. Harper was the only


    living descendant of the Qin n. If there were any secrets in the book, then only someone like her


    could uncover it. Back then, the reasons that Rndo went to the Bright Dynasty and became one of


    its monks were not only to avoid the internal strife in the Great Jade Kingdom, but also to find a way to


    figure out the book''s secret, and search for the only descendant of the Qin n.


    "Maybe a coteral descendant of the Qin n —"


    Cutting Miguel off, Rndo seriously said, "A coteral descendant won''t know about the family''s most


    well-kept secret. If they knew, they wouldn''t be alive by now. The secrets of the n and the secrets of


    the Heavenly Books might all be rted to just one person."


    As a matter of fact, Miguel was fully aware that no one but Harper could solve the mystery of the


    Heavenly Books. He also knew that it was not an easy task to make her do it.


    "Your Majesty, is this really about just solving the mystery?" Miguel suddenly asked. He and Rndo


    grew up together, so Miguel knew his friend very well. He thought that since Rndo came back from


    the Bright Dynasty, there were some significant changes to him.


    "Well, if this isn''t for that, what else do you think all of this is for?"


    "Is it possible that you''re doing all of this for Lady Harper?" Miguel asked while he approached


    Rndo. He then suddenly took out a picture from a pile of papers in front of the man. It was a portrait


    of no one else but Harper. "This had been drawn by you. How could you have done this if she doesn''t


    have a ce in your heart?" he asked.


    "You''ve crossed the line, Miguel. Trying to read my mind and meddle in my business has deeply


    offended me," Rndo simply said while he calmly took the portrait away from the prime minister.


    "I didn''t mean to offend you. In fact, I''m just worried about you, Your Majesty. I''m afraid that you have


    lost your senses and you''re doing something irrational because of some unrealistic fantasy. We grew


    up together. I don''t know if you remember. But I once told you that if you be the emperor, I would


    be your prime minister and make the Great Jade Kingdom the most powerful kingdom with you. I hope


    you haven''t forgotten our promise," Miguel answered with utmost honesty, not a single hint of attempt


    in concealing his worries.


    Rndo almost snapped, but still, through an overbearing tone, he said, "I haven''t forgotten about it! I


    always know what I want."


    "It''s good that you haven''t forgotten, Your Majesty. I''m just merely reminding you. After all, you have


    sacrificed your right arm in order to save Lady Harper. They owed you such a great debt. Why not just


    ask Prince Matthew to hand over the Heavenly Book in return?" Miguel asked, regaining his


    composure.


    "If in the slightest chance that he''s willing to give it to us, can you read it?" the emperor asked with a


    sneer.


    The expression on Miguel''s face went stiff. Rndo was right. Only Harper could decipher the book.


    Even if they acquired the other volumes, it would be useless if Harper refused to cooperate. He knew


    then that his n was going nowhere.


    "You''re right, and Harper might not be cooperative whatsoever even if we let them keep the book,"


    Miguel stated.


    "Miguel, I''m going to teach you one more thing today. Don''t always expect others to return a favor when


    you give a helping hand. You can''t assume that everyone will act the way you want them to." The


    emperor''s words were simple, but quite interesting and meaningful. Harper was a grateful person. If


    others treated her well, she would generously repay them. Rndo had saved her life, but he had


    never asked for anything in return, nor did he want to. For Rndo, bing friends with her was the


    best thing that could ever happen out of that.


    "If we don''t want to be repaid, won''t everything that we''ve worked so hard for be in vain?" Miguel


    asked, quite surprised by the emperor''s statements.


    Rndo answered with a meaningful smile, "You still have a lot to learn, Miguel. If Matthew heard what


    I''m saying, I''m sure he would understand in an instant."


    The expression on Miguel''s face darkened a little, but he said nothing more about it. "Well, it''ste. If


    you''ll excuse me, Your Majesty."


    "You can go," the emperor casually said while the prime minister headed for the door. After Miguel had


    left, the door automatically closed with a gust of wind. When the emperor looked at the portrait on the


    table, the expression on his eyes instantly softened. "Is it so obvious? Even Miguel can feel my love for


    you now, Harper. But can you?" Rndo wondered out loud.


    "Your Majesty."


    "Come in," Rndo gently ordered while he put away the portrait with one swift move of his hand. His


    gaze then turned tranquil when he asked, "Have you found anything?"


    "Your Majesty, we found out that the blue stones on the road were reced with river stones. They look


    very much alike, except the river stones are covered with moss, so it''s easy to slip on them. That was


    why Lady Lilian fell and nearly hurt the baby." The guard informed the emperor about the results of their


    investigation.Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
