Xiao Yi gritted his teeth as he spoke to Pei Yu. ”This crown prince has already become the laughingstock of Liang Jing, and you're still trying to calm him down?” ”Hmph, I knew that your Prime Minister's family is only supporting me because of Prince Gu's identity!”

”Before, because I lacked the ability, I was demeaning myself to the point of being worthless. Now that I am about to be crippled as the crown prince, of course you all have to come up with other plans for yourselves. Hmph, I don't need any of you to be hypocritical.”

Pei Yu didn't chase after Xiao Yi's furious figure. He sighed in weariness before forcing a smile on his face. ”Ah Jin, what a coincidence. I've met you again.”

Lu Jinniang felt that he was in trouble with the word 'coincidental' today, and pointed out helplessly, ”It's not a coincidence, it's because you chased the crown prince to the Imperial Palace while I just left the Imperial Palace.”

”Brother Yu, with your martial arts skills, if you really wanted to stop the crown prince, you would have already stopped him, right?”

”I knew it couldn't fool A-Jin.” Pei Yu looked around at the passersby and said, ”This isn't a good place to talk. It's time for dinner. Lingliang, this time, I'll treat you.”

Lu JinNian answered with a smile, ”It's better to obey than to be respectful.”

Although it was called dinner time, it was actually still rather early. Pei Yu ordered the dishes and instructed the waiter to order some more dishes later. He then ordered some delicious snacks first.

However, when he heard that Pei Yu had ordered a jar of fruit wine, he looked at Lu JinNian with a horrified expression, as if he was asking, ”Is one jar enough?”

The corner of Lu JinNian's mouth twitched. It was just a single round of drinking with someone, why did her influence not disappear?

Pei Yu gave the waiter some funny instructions, and then left with the waiter.

”I forgot, A-Jin has a good alcohol tolerance.”

”...” It would be better if you continued to forget. ” Lu JinNian propped up his cheeks and looked out the window at the setting sun, obviously not wanting to continue this topic.

Pei Yu didn't try to force the issue, but cast a curious glance at Ya Xiong, ”I am Pei Yu. May I ask who you are?”

Ya Xiong stared at Pei Yu coldly, not replying.

Lu JinNian was already used to Ye Xiong's indifferent attitude. Besides, he came here as the emperor's eyes, which family's eyes could still speak?

He answered for him, ”This is my previous master, Yuxiong, who taught me martial arts. He often drifts around in the martial arts world, and only when he came back from the palace and saw his master strolling on the streets did he know that his master had returned. Don't mind him, my master is just a little cold.”

An unfamiliar man naturally couldn't appear beside Eldest Miss Lu for no reason. Judging from Yu Xiong's appearance, it was unknown if he had ever thought about his identity. Since the emperor hadn't made any arrangements for Lu JinNian, she could only invent one.

Most of the martial arts world's people could not be found, so it was not unreasonable.

”People of the martial arts world?” Pei Yu was puzzled for a moment before he smiled at Sui Xiong, ”My respects to you, Mister Sui Xiong.”

Yukon just nodded back.

Pei Yu didn't feel awkward and started chatting with Lu JinNian again, ”Now that I think about it, why did A Jin come to the Crown Prince's Palace today? As far as I know, you and the Crown Prince have never met, but from the looks of it, the fact that the Crown Prince owes him money is not baseless. ”

Lu JinNian did not hide anything, ”Not long ago, I happened to see the crown prince's men bullying people, and that's all.”
