"He's inviting me?" Ling Xiao held the letter, a cold sneer touching his lips. That member of the Sword Sect had snatched the Crown Prince's Tier Five Magical Beast on the main street of the Imperial Capital, then swaggered off. At the time, Ling Xiao hadn't even considered the Southern King. But now that he was in the southern fiefdom and had run into that Sword Sect member again, he couldn't even convince himself that the Southern King wasn't involved.
Uncle Fu's eyes were slightly narrowed as he sipped his tea. "Young Master," he said lightly, "I suggest you go. After all, as things stand, we don't have the strength to contend with both the Crown Prince and the Second Prince simultaneously. So, while we are on this southern land, we must maintain a good relationship with the Southern King for now. Whether that Sword Sect member is his man or not, we should make this trip."
"We?" Ling Xiao looked at Uncle Fu. "You're going too?"
