Chapter 665 - 600: The Second Prince’s Plan

Hearing this, Qin An, who was still in the room, frowned slightly.

The Second Prince?

He recognized the other party’s identity; he hadn’t expected that the Second Prince, far away in the capital, would actually come to the Celestial Cloud Path to look for him.

After thinking for a moment, Qin An raised his hand and opened the door.

The rivalry among the three Princes of the Daqian Kingdom was practically plain for all to see; everyone knew very well just how fierce their struggle was.

Not long ago, the Third Prince had come to see him, discussing cooperation at length, and he had agreed.

There is no wall in this world that doesn’t let the wind through; the fact that the Second Prince could also find his way here meant that some of the things between him and the Third Prince had very likely become known to others.

Once the door opened, the scene at the entrance appeared before Qin An’s eyes.

At the doorway, Li Moyun was blocking the middle, sweat beading on his forehead, looking extremely tense.

Opposite Li Moyun stood a young man with an imposing bearing.

The man’s features were handsome, his appearance carrying a natural air of nobility; even dressed in ordinary clothes, it was hard to conceal the aura of a superior on him.

At this moment, a hint of anger showed on the man’s face as he berated Li Moyun.

"What the hell are you? You’re nothing but a dog under that Third Brother of mine! Someone like you dares to block my way here—are you not afraid I’ll have you punished for offending your betters?"

Hearing this, the cold sweat on Li Moyun’s forehead grew even thicker, but he still did not back down, continuing to block the way.

"Qin An has already met with the Third Prince. What you’re doing now is somewhat inappropriate. How about you go back for today?"

If it had been anyone else, Li Moyun wouldn’t have stopped them like this; after all, among the three Princes, the Second Prince was considered the most hot-tempered.

But the one standing behind him was Qin An, and that made it different.

Li Moyun was very clear on just how much potential Qin An had now; he had already gone from not caring at all in the beginning to valuing him greatly now.

If he allowed the Second Prince to meet Qin An and thus hindered the Third Prince’s plans, then Li Moyun would be betraying the Third Prince’s nurturing grace.

Seeing that Li Moyun still blocked his path, the Second Prince raised his hand, ready to give Li Moyun a slap to teach this fellow a lesson.

But just as he lifted his hand, Qin An opened the door on his side.

Immediately, both Li Moyun and the Second Prince subconsciously turned their gazes over.

When they saw Qin An standing calmly at the doorway, the expressions on their faces were quite different.

Surprise appeared on Li Moyun’s face, tinged with a trace of complicated emotion.

He had originally planned to keep blocking a bit longer, but he hadn’t expected Qin An to simply walk out like this.

He also knew Qin An must have heard the commotion inside, yet he couldn’t quite grasp what Qin An was thinking.

The Second Prince, however, was looking Qin An up and down with interest, as if he wanted to see right through him.

Qin An raised his hand slightly and said, "Mr. Li, don’t stop him. Your Highness the Second Prince, everything Mr. Li has done is out of his duty; please do not blame him. Why don’t we all go inside and talk in detail?"

The Second Prince nodded, flicked his sleeve, pushed Li Moyun aside, and walked toward Qin An’s room.

Li Moyun was about to take a couple of steps forward, but his movement was halted by Qin An’s look, which clearly meant there was no need for him to interfere in this matter.

Li Moyun thought for a moment, then stopped in his tracks, sighed, and quietly left the courtyard.

He knew very well that no matter how much he tried to block, with the Second Prince’s temper it would ultimately be a futile effort.

Rather than that, it was better to let things run their course.

He believed Qin An would make the best choice.

Very soon, the Second Prince stepped into the room.

Qin An closed the door behind them.

When he turned around, he saw the Second Prince sitting by the round table, studying him with great interest.

Qin An did not waste words; he walked over and sat opposite the Second Prince, poured two cups of hot tea, and pushed one of them in front of him. "Please have some tea, Your Highness."

The Second Prince pinched the teacup with his fingertips and gently turned it. Only after the tea had cooled a little did he take a light sip.

"If it were anyone else seeing this Prince, they’d probably have brought out their best tea already. Yet here you’re serving only the kind of tea the Evil Extermination Bureau uses every day. Could it be you don’t want to have anything to do with me at all?"

Qin An set down his teacup and shook his head. "I’m not a man who likes tea, nor do I like wine. On most days, being able to drink plain water is already quite good. For Your Highness to come here, making a pot of tea like this is already a sign of how much I value you."

The Second Prince let out a cold laugh. "I don’t care for extra chatter. I came to see you this time for one matter, and you must give this Prince an answer."

Qin An said nothing, but from the Second Prince’s words he could hear a tone that brooked no refusal.

Thinking it over, the Second Prince’s way of putting things wasn’t exactly excessive.

After all, the man sitting before him was one of the most exalted figures in the Daqian Kingdom.

Even so, Qin An still felt a trace of dissatisfaction.

This was something he had already seen clearly back in Lingzhou.

Many people who thought highly of themselves believed they were a cut above others, and the Second Prince also believed himself far superior to Qin An.

By comparison, Qin An suddenly felt that the Third Prince seemed much better.

At the very least, the Third Prince didn’t have this kind of arrogance.

The Second Prince cleared his throat lightly, ignored what had been said before, tapped the table, and said coolly, "I know that Third Brother came all this way just to find you. I won’t beat around the bush with you either. Leave Third Brother and come under this Prince’s banner. Whatever Third Brother can give you, this Prince will give you twice over."
