Xu Que left the Second Prince's chamber, using his movement skill to quietly leave the palace. He reappeared near a main street.

Just as he tried to return to the inn, he stopped abruptly as if he had just thought of something. He slapped himself on the head, face full of regret.

”Damn, I acted too fast… I forgot to pay a visit to the Empress Dowager's chamber!”

Xu Que furrowed his eyebrows, then turned around, intending to go back to the palace again. He wanted to grab whatever other treasures he could find as well as have a look at the beauty of the Empress Dowager.

If she was as beautiful as a fairy, then he would really give her a tongue-lashing!

How do you teach your grandchildren?

Do you know that your grandson is secretly collecting something that belongs to you?

Do you know that you're poisoning a young man? Those things should be given to me for safe-keeping…

Xu Que decided how he should go about closing in on his imminent target. He was now ready to go back to the palace!

But just as he was about to execute his movement skill, he saw several horses, a group of guards and a horse carriage emerge in the distance. It was the Second Prince and his men.

Ha, this cunning Second Fatty actually took so long to get to the palace in order to buy time… he really is out to fool this Act Tough King!

Heheh!

Didn't you lie to me about being in a state of poverty?

How can this Act Tough King let you go back on your word? Just you wait and see what's waiting for you!

Xu Que felt amused. He concealed his presence as he quietly sneaked to the rear of the group and entered the horse carriage within the blink of an eye.

The carriage driver seemed to feel something and hurriedly turned around. With a suspicious and confused look, he asked, ”Young Master Xu, are you okay?”

”No, I'm not okay! Stop the carriage!” Xu Que shouted from the carriage.

As he had spoken rather loudly, even the Second Prince who was in front of them heard his exclamation as well. He frowned immediately, but raised a hand. The slow-moving team stopped in their tracks.

All of them turned to look at the horse carriage, waiting to see what Xu Que was up to now.

”Young Master Xu, what's wrong?” the carriage driver asked, quickly stopping the carriage by pulling on the reins..

Xu Que lifted the curtain on the horse carriage and hopped down. ”You're moving so slowly that it's boring. Forget it, I don't want the mansion or the silver and gold. As for the 3,000 beauties, let them go back to where they belong. Goodbye!”

With that, Xu Que turned and walked away.

The Second Prince was startled by his actions and looked astonished:

What the hell is this guy doing?

Why is he suddenly saying that he isn't going to come anymore? Why doesn't he want the mansion or the 3,000 beauties?

Is this a sudden discovery of his conscience?

It's strange. It's too abnormal!

”Xu Que, what exactly are you up to?” shouted the Second Prince, thinking of the IOU that had yet to be returned to him.

”Am I the kind of person who likes to play tricks?” shouted Xu Que. ”You think you can fool me… by moving so slowly, you must be concealing some motive or conspiracy. If I can't get anything out of this trip, why should I waste my time? Come, here's the IOU!”

Xu Que waved his hand, crumpled the IOU and threw the ball of paper towards the Second Prince.

”Don't thank me, I need to go back and write in my diary now, goodbye!”

And Xu Que strode away.

The Second Prince was puzzled. He could not understand Xu Que's motives. He caught the ball of paper and hurriedly unfolded it to check.

He was surprised and stunned for moment. It really was the IOU, written in his own handwriting:

Why is this happening?
