#1122 - Chapter 1122: Three Rules to Go to Jindi
"White Jade Marquis, how dare you show your face here?" Raging Flame asked in displeasure.
"Young Master Raging Flame, don't misunderstand. This was specifically instructed by Marquis Blazing Fire before he left. I am simply acting according to his request," White Jade Marquis explained.
"Hmph. Misunderstand? I don't misunderstand. If you had been on the same side as Grand Duke, how could I have ended up in such a state?" Raging Flame retorted.
"Alright, let's not argue about that. I'm here today to discuss another matter with you," White Jade Marquis said.
"Since Father has already entrusted you with the authority to manage the tribe, you can make your own decisions. Why bother discussing it with me?" Raging Flame showed no interest in talking to him.
"Young Master Raging Flame, when will you mature a little? Besides matters of love, as the only son of Marquis Blazing Fire, you must also think about the future of Flame Territory," White Jade Marquis sighed.
"Enough! Who do you think you are? What right do you have to lecture me?" Raging Flame interrupted him.
"I don't mean to lecture you, but just now, envoys from Gold Territory arrived," White Jade Marquis replied.
"What did you say? Envoys from Gold Territory arrived? What's going on? Has something happened to Father?" Raging Flame immediately became anxious.
"Not at all. The envoys from Gold Territory said they are preparing to hold a grand ceremony next spring, inviting the leaders of each tribe to attend," White Jade Marquis explained.
Raging Flame breathed a sigh of relief after hearing White Jade Marquis's explanation, and coldly asked:
"Ceremony? What ceremony?"
"I don't know, the envoys didn't say," White Jade Marquis shook his head.
"That's strange! Don't they know that Father has already gone to Gold Territory? Why would they still send people to inform us? Did you ask him if he knew any news about Father?" Raging Flame asked.
"I asked, but they don't know," White Jade Marquis replied.
"Then what do we do now? Father isn't here, should we still go?" Raging Flame asked.
"My suggestion is that we should go, and you and I should go together," White Jade Marquis replied.
"Alright!" Raging Flame agreed immediately, without even considering it.
With the opportunity to go to Gold Territory and see Peach Blossom, how could he disagree?
"Since you agree to go, we must agree on three conditions in advance," White Jade Marquis emphasized.
"Speak!" Raging Flame had already changed his attitude, showing complete cooperation.
"First: All actions must be approved by me. That is to say, without my consent, you must not act alone," White Jade Marquis said, holding up one finger.
"Alright!" Raging Flame nodded without any hesitation.
"Second: If your father is in danger, you must not attempt a rescue on your own," White Jade Marquis held up a second finger.
"Why is that?" Raging Flame couldn't understand.
If his father was in danger and he didn't try to rescue him, would he still be considered the son of Marquis Blazing Fire?
"It's not that you can't rescue him, but you can't attempt a rescue on your own," White Jade Marquis emphasized.
"Okay! I promise you!" Raging Flame understood.
"I must also emphasize that if the risk is too great, I may abandon the rescue plan, and you must do as I say!" White Jade Marquis added.
"That won't do! No matter how great the risk, I will never give up!" Raging Flame didn't compromise this time.
It seemed he wasn't willing to sacrifice even his principles for the sake of seeing Peach Blossom.
"If that's the case, then forget it!" White Jade Marquis turned to leave when he saw that he didn't agree.
"Hey, hey, don't go! Let's discuss it, let's discuss it!" Raging Flame hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
"What's there to discuss? If you don't listen to orders, it's too dangerous to take you. Not only will you fail to rescue your father, but you may also bring everyone to their deaths," White Jade Marquis said unhappily.
"How about this, we each take a step back. If the risk of rescuing Father is indeed too great, I will act separately from you. Don't worry! Even if I go to save Father, I will definitely not implicate you!" Raging Flame guaranteed.
"No! I promised your father that I would ensure your safety. Therefore, if you want to go to Gold Territory with me, you are absolutely not allowed to act alone!" White Jade Marquis firmly disagreed.
"Are we just supposed to stand by and watch if Father is in danger? Do you think I, as a son, can really do that?" Raging Flame retorted.
White Jade Marquis was silent.
What Raging Flame said was also true.
It was impossible to remain indifferent when his own father's life was in danger. After thinking it over, he felt that this matter could only be handled on a case-by-case basis.
If such a situation really arose, then he would simply control Raging Flame.
After figuring out this point, he continued:
"Alright, then let me state the third requirement: You are not allowed to go looking for Queen Peach Blossom!"
"This…" Raging Flame was stunned.
This was the most important thing for him to do in Gold Territory.
