Fang Chuning knew that his mother was speaking out of anger. Killing Dugu Jing might sound straightforward, but the consequences ran deep. Killing a prince of the Beiman without cause would mean preparing for an endless conflict with them. Moreover, such an act would be the behavior of a petty, despicable person. Even Xie Jue, who was ruthless and unscrupulous, would never kill Dugu Jing without reason.
Xie Xun had just ascended the throne, and it was even less likely he would do something so irrational and widely condemned.
Fang Chuning said, "Mother, if Beining wants unification, Beiman must submit. This is the best opportunity—if we can defeat Dugu Jing, we can make it happen. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance."
