"Nothing important, but just dropping in for a visit as I was pa.s.sing by."

"Then you should go now. Your Highness must still have many things to deal with and we won’t ask you to stay for a meal."

"Coincidentally, this Crown Prince is feeling a little hungry."

"Our plain and crude fare is beneath Your Highness’ palate."

"It’s alright. This Crown Prince does not mind."

Yan Xi Cheng was at a loss. "....." This awkward atmosphere was impossible to salvage.

It was such a strange sight, to see the two of them flinging barbed words back and forth. Despite having seen this happen for so many years in the past, he still could not get used to the way the two of them interacted with each other.

But very soon, this awkward atmosphere was quickly shattered.

Looking over to the person slumped back in his chair and laughing hysterically, unable to hold it in as tears streamed down his face, one would know why.

"Bwah ha ha ha ha~ Hey, don’t look at me! You guys should just continue! It’s just too funny! Oww..... My stomach..... Hahaha~"

Xuanyuan Che continued to stare at him. "....."

Yan Ning Luo creased up her brows. "Mu Chi, what are you laughing at?"

Yan Ning Luo and Mu Chi could be considered to be on rather familiar terms as the Faint Mist Sect and the Limitless Sect were on good terms and enjoyed a good relationship. They had even conducted an exchange of their disciples to each other’s sects for more learning. In the period that Yan Ning Luo had gone to the Limitless Sect, she had received instruction from the same Master as Mu Chi.

Mu Chi had his arms clasped over his stomach, and it was only after a huge struggle that he managed to hold in his laughter. "I’ll say, aren’t the two of you engaged to each other? Why is the relationship between the two of you so toxic? I almost died laughing you know? If one did not know, they would surely think the two of you are arch enemies!"

Yan Ning Luo sneered. "We are arch enemies!"

"I just cannot seem to comprehend as well, why my Father would choose a woman like this to be my wife." Xuanyuan Che said helplessly.

"Huh? Xuanyuan Che! Say that one more time! What do you mean by a woman like this! ?" Yan Ning Luo’s eyes flared wide. With that, she could not even be bothered to hypocritically address him as His Highness anymore. "Are you looking to pick a fight! ?"

"I’m sorry, I will never strike a woman." Xuanyuan Che said as his lips curled up slightly, looking every inch a graceful gentleman.

"Ha! Three months later! I’ll see you up on the arena." Yan Ning Luo issued the challenge without any hesitation.

Yan Xi Cheng saw that the atmosphere was becoming worse and worse, and he hurriedly put on a smile to try to smooth things over. "Alright, alright. Don’t be like this. We’re just be making a joke out of ourselves in front of everyone. Little Ning, regardless of everything else, His Highness the Crown Prince is still your betrothed and do you know how many ladies out there are just so envious of you?"

"That is because none of them know that this fella is not what he shows himself to be, a beast wearing the face of a human." Yan Ning Luo said as she shot him a glare, before spinning herself right around and went walking out without glancing back, leaving Yan Xi Cheng there to apologise profusely with an awkward expression on his face.

"Little Ning has been spoilt rotten. I beg for Your Highness the Crown Prince’s forgiveness."

Mu Chen still went up to ask with his face inquisitive. "Big Brother, why am I not aware that you’re a beast wearing a human face? What kind of a beastly thing have you done to that poor girl? ?"

When Xuanyuan Che saw that gloating face of his, Xuanyuan Che immediately raised a hand to rap Mu Chi on the head angrily. "Beast your big head."

A corner of Mu Chi’s mouth twitched. [Great, Big Brother has gotten angry for once, it’s better not make things any worse. Just let him stew in his anger himself!"

[That’s right. He came here today because of something important.]

[Mm. He had gone back and thought it over for a whole night and decided to come find that young lady, to confess his heart to her.]

The moment he closed his eyes he had seen that pair of keen eyes of hers, and that irresistible smile. Till this age, Mu Chi had never kept thinking of someone day and night like this before.

He surmised, that he must have been poisoned. Poisoned by that young lady named "Su Yan".

Taking the opportunity of the gap in the conversation between Yan Xi Cheng and Xuanyuan Che, Mu Chi made up an excuse and then slipped himself out.
