838 The Fourth Prince 5 (1/2)
The news of the Fourth Prince's visit to the first battle district quickly spread throughout the Imperial Palace, and reaching everyone's ears was also the news of Lei Fan's invitation that was met with Jun Xie's….. complete disregard.
Lei Chen had rushed to the Immortals' Loft at the first instance and at that moment, Jun Wu Xie and the others were having a meal. When they saw Lei Chen suddenly appear looking highly flustered and anxious, they all put down their chopsticks.
”What is going on? Does Your Highness want to eat with us?” Qiao Chu asked with a laugh with chopsticks still gripped in his hands.
Lei Chen asked the waiter to be dismiss himself and he hurriedly went over to sit beside Jun Xie.
”Lei Fan went to look for you?” Lei Chen asked, his voice heavily tinged with anxiety.
Jun Wu Xie slowly chewed the food in her mouth and swallowed it, before turning around to see Lei Chen's face already covered in a thin sheen of perspiration.
”You are being afraid.” She said calmly.
Lei Chen did not mind that his anxiety was showing so obviously before Jun Xie and he nodded his head vigorously.
”I am scared, really scared. For Lei Fan to go look for you, must have been under my Father's suggestion. He is temporarily unable to make any rash moves but he can see that I am being rather close to you guys from the Zephyr Academy. All of you had stood out brilliantly and conspicuously in many of the battle districts in the Spirit Battle Tournament and drawn a lot of attention to yourselves, hence, my Father would naturally not be happy to see people with such overwhelming powers to be on such good terms with me. He has every intention of kicking me off my position as the Crown Prince to install his precious Fourth Prince onto it, doing everything he can to give all that is best to my fourth brother, so how can I not be worried? Compared to the power and authourity held by the Emperor, what can a mere Crown Prince do?”
Lei Chen could not help but be frightened. In the first place, he did not understand why Jun Xie and his companions would want to help him and if it was because of the previous incident where they were set up and maligned before that had tied them together, that matter had been resolved by Jun Xie and if it was because of power and authourity, riches and prosperity, what the Yan Country's Emperor was able to give was way more than he could.
After Lei Chen became aware of Jun Xie's astounding power and highly shrewd mind, he became more worried that Jun Xie would switch over to Lei Fan's camp.
