Cultivation Pet Shop-Chapter 882 War

The second prince turned to the cloaked figure that had fought General Wu and gave him a nod.

That cloaked figure nodded back and then took off their cloak to reveal who they were.

Everyone looked carefully at this person at first, but then they immediately realized who it was.

It was the grand general of the Ran Stellar Kingdom!

With this, it was confirmed that the Ran Stellar Kingdom had been working with the second prince all along!

When this fact settled in, everyone couldn't help feeling nervous.

After all, the Ran Stellar Kingdom now had a very large leash on the Mu Stellar Kingdom as their new king owed a lot of his rule to the Ran Stellar Kingdom. It was unknown how the Ran Stellar Kingdom would use this card, but it was clear that they wouldn't let it go that easily.

Many of the nobles started worrying about the future of the Mu Stellar Kingdom.

But then the words of the grand general changed all these thoughts.

"The Ran Stellar Kingdom sends their congratulations to the new Mu Stellar King. I hope that our alliance will continue in this prosperity." As the grand general said this, he took out a box that he presented to the Mu Stellar King.

The Mu Stellar King gave a nod and said, "Thank you, grand general. It is an honour to continue cooperating with the Ran Stellar Kingdom."

The nobles in the stands couldn't help looking at the Ran Stellar Kingdom's grand general with confused looks.

This was normally the time when the Ran Stellar Kingdom's representatives would make their demands or at least put some pressure on the new Mu Stellar King, but this wasn't happening at all.

If they missed this chance while the Mu Stellar King still hadn't fully established his power, they would miss the chance to get the benefits that they wanted.

So why would he just act this submissive and even offer a gift to the Mu Stellar King?

Could it be that the Ran Stellar Kingdom didn't plan on receiving any benefits from the Mu Stellar Kingdom?

But why would they help the second prince take the throne if that was the case?

That doubt didn't last long as a special guest suddenly appeared in the arena.

Once again, everyone was shocked to see who it was…

The Ran Stellar King, the newly crowned Ran Stellar King!

The old Ran Stellar King had stepped down two years ago and the new Ran Stellar King that took over had been the first prince.

Unlike the Mu Stellar Kingdom, there was no fierce succession race because the Ran Stellar King only had the first prince as his successor.

He had been known as a very dedicated person and had only ever taken his queen as his wife, so he only had three children. They were the first prince and the two princesses.

After the new Ran Stellar King took over, he immediately created a bunch of new policies and in just two years, the Ran Stellar Kingdom's economy had doubled.

People even claimed that this was the golden age of the Ran Stellar Kingdom.

The Ran Stellar King walked right through the arena until he came right up to the Mu Stellar King.

Everyone was tense as the two of them just stared at each other, but then they did something that shocked everyone.

The Mu Stellar King and the Ran Stellar King moved at the same time, reaching their hands out to grab each other's hand before revealing smiles.

It was clear that there was an unspoken bond between the two of them…

But that made it clear why the Ran Stellar Kingdom had helped the Mu Stellar King take his throne.

Going back in time a bit, when the second prince had been wandering the world in training, he had met the Ran Stellar Kingdom's first prince. The two of them had formed a team and traveled the world with their party before going back to their respective kingdoms to take over their duties.

However, the bond that they had forged during their journey together was one that had lasted even to now.

That was one of the reasons why the Ran Stellar King had sent his ships to pressure the Mu Stellar King and why he had sent his grand general to help the second prince.

But of course, if it was with just this, it was impossible to send all of these things even with the prestige that the Ran Stellar King had. There was another reason why the Ran Stellar King had gone all out to help the second prince take the throne.

This was what the Mu Stellar King announced next.

"Loyal subjects, while we will not be having a war with the Ran Stellar Kingdom, there is a war that is approaching."

All of the nobles in the stands and everyone watching were shocked when they heard this.

They had thought that the threat of war was gone when the Ran Stellar King arrived, but now that didn't seem to be the case…

The Mu Stellar King continued, "The Tai Stellar Kingdom has colluded with the Bai Stellar Kingdom to encroach on our Mu Stellar Kingdom and Ran Stellar Kingdom's lands."

When everyone heard this, their chins dropped down.

The Tai Stellar Kingdom was one of the enemies of their Mu Stellar Kingdom, this was something that they all knew. However, the Tai Stellar Kingdom was weaker than either of their Mu Stellar Kingdom or the Ran Stellar Kingdom, so where had they gained the guts to attack them?

Even if they had the help of the Bai Stellar Kingdom, this shouldn't be the case since the Bai Stellar Kingdom was also weaker than either of their kingdoms.

But since it was a war with weaker enemies and since they had the Ran Stellar Kingdom on their side as shown by the Ran Stellar King's appearance, they were feeling confident.

The nobles no longer looked worried as they revealed opportunistic glints in their eyes. 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m

After all, a war was a way to earn battle glory and battle glory meant increasing their rank. As long as it was an easy war, it would be easy battle glory, so they had no reason to oppose this war.

Let alone the fact that this was about defending their country, which would raise their own reputations.

This was clearly an easy win.

No one thought more deeply into why the Tai Stellar Kingdom and the Bai Stellar Kingdom suddenly decided to attack them, but that didn't mean that the Ran Stellar King and the Mu Stellar King didn't think about it.

They knew that there had to be a reason why the Tai Stellar Kingdom and the Bai Stellar Kingdom were suddenly encroaching on their borders…

There had to be something that gave them this courage…

This was the other reason why the Ran Stellar King had decided to help the second prince take the throne.

He knew that the previous Mu Stellar King wasn't a reliable ally, so he wanted someone that he could trust to take his place. Who was better than his blood brother, the second prince?

That was how he had convinced his ministers to send support for the second prince's coup.

Seeing that the ministers were all in agreement to the war, the Mu Stellar King knew that everything had gone the way that he had wanted it to go.

Now there was only one more thing for him to take care of.

The Mu Stellar King couldn't help peeking at his private viewing box with a strange look in his eyes.

…

In the viewing box, Lin Fan had calmly watched all of this happen.

Even though he was calm on the surface, he couldn't help being shocked deep down as he couldn't understand how the system had known about all of this. He was certain that the system had already known that this would happen, or else it wouldn't have given him that quest.

But what shocked him even more was the name Tai Stellar Kingdom.

The Tai Stellar Kingdom was where the Bing Family and Huo Family that were after him were from…

If the Mu Stellar Kingdom and the Ran Stellar Kingdom were to fight the Tai Stellar Kingdom, then wouldn't this be a chance for him?

He also couldn't help wondering if the system even knew about all of this…

If it did, then this must be the reason why it had wanted him to watch over the succession race just so he could learn about all of this.

If the Mu Stellar Kingdom and the Ran Stellar Kingdom were to fight the Tai Stellar Kingdom, if they were to take down the Tai Stellar Kingdom, wouldn't that help him solve his problem?

If he were to stop the Bing and Huo Families from chasing after him, wouldn't he be able to return to his family?

This was a chance!

So Lin Fan fell into deep thought about how to process this whole thing.

He needed to figure out a way to work with the Mu Stellar Kingdom, but at the same time, he had to consider Xin'er's situation…

Or rather, should he say Mu Bao Bao…

At the very least, he was close to the second prince, so he would be able to talk to him.

But he still couldn't figure out the strange way that the second prince looked at Xin'er.

Could that be why he wanted them to come and see what happened today?

Lin Fan looked at Xin'er with a strange look before giving a sigh.

It seemed like the only way to solve this was to meet with the second prince…no, he should be the Mu Stellar King now.
