They'll rip you off without hesitation; they won't cause you any big trouble, but they'll pick on the smallest things to annoy you.

Xu Da: ...It's not just disgusting, it's downright insidious!

"Your Highness, I only acknowledge you. If Qi Heng wishes to have me follow him, then let him demonstrate his abilities!"

Xu Da was furious, but at least he was convinced of his superiority!

Yes, it will.

The Prince of Luo said two words with a deeper meaning.

"Is Yue Sha completely unaware of all this?"

Xu Da suddenly felt like a father, worrying about Lin Yuesha. He wondered what kind of person was hiding around this little girl. Last night, she was bragging to him about her older brother who had passed the imperial examination and was very proud of him.

"I know absolutely nothing about it."

Qi Heng was somewhat extreme; he would fixate on anything he set his sights on and create two aliases to protect his true self.

After all, the entire Qi family was brutally murdered, and Qi Heng had known about the deep-seated hatred of the Qi family since he could remember. He lived only to seek revenge.

He used to have no interest in that position, but now... ultimately, it's all about protecting his most important family members.

Luo Wang understood Qi Heng's feelings; as his uncle, he could only offer small help.

"Your Highness, am I really not dreaming?"

Xu Da patted his face, still unable to believe it.

"Feel the purse; there are pine nut candies made of moon silk inside."

Luo Wang bluffed.

"No."

There were only banknotes and a few thin pieces of paper in his purse.

"That means you weren't dreaming. You forgot, you've already finished the pine nut candy."

After speaking, Luo Wang stood up and looked out the window.

Xu Da: ...
