Xue Cheng quickly lowered his head and picked up a large piece of mutton with his chopsticks to hide his inner emotions.

He had not met other princes in Kyoto. In the past, he thought that princes were just like ordinary people, except that they had higher status.

If he could have such status and position, he would definitely be able to do well.

But today, after meeting Zhang Mingtu, the prince who was living in the wild, and spending some time with him, he couldn't help but feel respect for him.

"If even a prince living in exile in the wild has such a magnanimous character and unfathomable cultivation, then what kind of demeanor and strength would a prince living in the capital, enjoying the best of life and being admired by countless people, have?"

Xue Cheng is difficult to guess.

Zhang Mingtu, standing before him, remained as calm as ever. Facing Xue Cheng's fluctuating expression, he thought Xue Cheng was having trouble adapting to this postmodern diet. He smiled and said, "If it's too spicy, you can make a dish of oil with sesame oil and minced garlic. It can help alleviate the spiciness. People in Shu often do this."

Zhang Mingtu said it casually. The Shu area in this world did have the prototype of hot pot, and some people would also prepare oil dips, but it was usually only the rich and powerful who could do that.

After all, during this period, the relevant sesame oil was a luxury, and so was the seasoning garlic.

Anyone who can easily season something like this must be of high status. Xue Cheng was stunned and became more certain of Zhang Mingtu's identity.

According to the information he had seen, Zhang Mingtu had never left Jianyi. Later, he was transferred to Jiujiang County, and his scope was expanded a little. It can also be said that he had never left Jiangnan West Road.

There was no possibility for him to go to Shu and know the customs and people of Shu.

"Does he trust me so much? He doesn't even hide all these details, he just reveals them to me."

While feeling extremely stressed, Xue Cheng also felt an indescribable sense of security.

The other party had such a high status and could still treat him calmly and reveal so many secrets to him. Although he knew that this might be a means to win people's hearts, his heart still couldn't help but beat fast.
