Lanling was surprised by this sudden question, yet not surprised!
Not surprised, because Lanling had already anticipated this outcome. After all, his military achievements would inevitably appear before Constantine as precise, undeniable figures. Following the unparalleled shock, Constantine would naturally weigh the interests behind this.
Surprised, however, because Lanling knew how much Constantine disliked him. Would he be willing to suppress his disdain and genuinely try to win him over?
Now, it was Lanling's turn to respond.
"Of course I'm willing. I dream of marrying Miss Ninian," Lanling answered without hesitation, direct and forthright.
He wasn't a fool. Why would he pass up the chance to spend every day with a beauty?
Moreover, this would elevate his own power and, most importantly, grant him ample time to regain his footing.
After all, his martial arts skills were still far from adequate.
