Xu Jing said, not used to them being like that at all, “Sit down!” His voice sounded a little helpless.

“Thank you, Your Majesty,” Ke Moer took a bow, observing every etiquette.

Xu Jing’s eyes darkened for he had no wish of being the sire at all, but Gong Cheng insisted that he take back Country T. In order not to disappoint Gong Cheng, he went along with it.

When Xu Jing sat across them, Ke Jie stared at Xu Jing. When Xu Jing and the others came, he did not see him. The reason that Ke Moer didn’t want him to see was because he feared he would fail to contain his excitement and make a scene.

It was because he had taken a tough stance that Ke Moer allowed him to come and witness now on condition that he did not make any irresponsible remarks.

‘Damn it! Damn him, Ke Moer, treats me like a child!’

‘But I didn’t expect the former king to be so young. I thought he is a middle-aged uncle with a bald head. Anyhow, his face is ridiculously gorgeous! He is already a father of two children. How come he still looks like a college student? Sure enough, baby face can really trick one’s eyes.’

Ke Jie looked back to Xu Jing and sighed that he really knew his way in beauty care. However, his eyes were filled with displeasure because ever since Xu Jing returned, he had ruined many good things.

Nevertheless, as Ke Moer said, he could only cooperate with Xu Jing and the others so as to live. Otherwise, he would be eliminated by the other two aristocratic families in the future.

“A trivial matter? Anything coming from you, the Second Prince, can be a trivial matter? I don’t believe it.”

“If we have to say it’s a important matter, it can be counted as one!” Ke Moer smiled back to He Jingyan, and then tapped on Ke Jie’s arm, reminding him not to stare at Xu Jing.

They were not in bed anymore and so Ke Jie found Ke Moer annoying in every way. He shook off his hand, but he didn’t yell; instead, he just ignored him.

Ke Moer was not angry and threw him a faint smile. ‘He was angry again! When he woke up, he even hugged me. Now that we are out of bed, he changed his attitude towards me?”

“Speak and get to the point! Don’t beat about the bush. I don’t have the mood to guess your words.” He Jingyan said indifferently. He never liked people who beat about the bush.

Ke Moer could tell that he was not in a good mood and that he was afraid of making He Jingyan angry and thereby ending up in an arguement so he said, “There’s a banquet held by a aristocratic family today. They had invited me and Ke Jie. If Colonel He is available, I’d like you and the sire to join us as a way to get to know our future enemy. As the saying goes, knowing oneself and one’s enemy ensures victory.”

‘So that’s why he said it was a trivial matter? But no one knows whether it is indeed a simple banquet until we are actually there.’

“This is a good opportunity to associate with the enemy. In other words, we can observe them and take measures according to their actions. We simply can’t miss this chance to take them down.”

In case He Jingyan didn’t go, Ke Moer told him what was at stake.

Even if Ke Moer didn’t mention it, He Jingyan would go anyway. After all, it was indeed a good opportunity to get to know the enemy.

“If only the four of us go, I’ll be worried, not about my own safety but my wife’s. Who knows if someone in this country knows about his identity?”

As a precaution, He Jingyan suggested him to bring guards along with them.

“So, let’s go and disguise your guards as the guards of me and Ke Jie’s. However, I hope that Colonel He can ensure our safety at that time. After all, we don’t know if this banquet will have a treacherous intention.”

Ke Moer smiled and said lightly, but his face suggested otherwise, as though he was also afraid that they might be targeted.
