Chapter 582: Tears of Failure
The fish in the lake were all natural, and there was no doubt that they could escape skillfully.
“Cang Mu is such an idiot! Hahaha...”
Longyuan mocked Cang Mu without restraint, and the handmaidens and guardsmen around them laughed out loud as well.
Gritting his teeth, Cang Mu rose to his feet. Grimacing with his handsome face, he drew his sword and flew over the lake.
He tipped his sword into the lake and spun it in a single direction, and soon made a vortex in the lake.
Smack, smack, smack—
Fish of various sizes sprang out of the vortex and onto land.
One of the larger fish landed on Longyuan’s face with a smack, but the boy remained dumbstruck as the fish continued to fly at his face.
He lost face once again—while he would admit that he was bullying Cang Mu on purpose just now, he failed and allowed Cang Mu to show off instead.
Watching as the dozens of fish flopped by the shore, Cang Mu sheathed his sword and returned, kneeling on one knee beside Longyuan and saying reverently, “You can catch the fish with your bare hands now, your highness.”
The handmaidens and guardsmen standing behind him were still hiding their smiles—their crown prince was embarrassing Cang Mu on purpose and put him on the spot, but he failed.
That shocked look on the crown prince’s face was quite hilarious.
Longyuan picked up the large fish at his feet then and whipped it at Cang Mu’s face, but Cang Mu simply deflected it with his backhand, calmly saying, “My face is still a face, your highness. Please do not hit it as you like, alright?”
He would fulfill his responsibility of supervising the crown prince since he made a promise to the crown prince. After all, how would the crown prince win hearts if he didn’t know how to respect his subordinates?
On the other hand, Longyuan did not know what to do and started to cry miserably, “You’re bullying me... sob, I hate you!”
Cang Mu’s cheeks twitched. The crown prince was the one who tried to bully him but failed, and now cried miserably over his failure—what did this have to do with him?
“Don’t cry, please? Your Highness, I did not offend you on purpose.” He could not help coaxing him.
“Boo-hoo...” Longyuan cried even louder. “You bullied me! I’m telling Mother!”
With that, he turned to leave, leaving the fish flopping on the ground, as well as the handmaidens and guardsmen who looked upon Cang Mu with pity.
Cang Mu inhaled sharply, clenched his fist, and walked to them in the next instant, picking up the crown prince.
“Let me go! I don’t want you to carry me!”
Longyuan punched and struggled against Cang Mu—there was no way he would let this despicable man carry him.
Nonetheless, Cang Mu flew off, skipping over the lake, and flatly asked, “How about this scenery, Your Highness?”
Being carried above the water, Longyuan looked down at the green lake and the many fish within.
It was such an incredible scenery that he forgot to cry right then.
Cang Mu could not help smiling. Returning to the shore, he told Longyuan seriously, “Do you want to learn flying, Your Highness? I can teach you! Just don’t hate me from now on.”
Longyuan had already wanted to learn to fly early on, but would not suffer the ignominy of having someone he hated teaching him, and so snorted, “I don’t want you to teach me! Hmph! I’ll still hate you!”
Cang Mu looked ashen-faced. He admits defeat since being hated by the crown prince was dejecting.
He suddenly found his future very dark if the crown prince still hated him.
