“Master, it’s true. I’ve confirmed it myself. They live in the best courtyard in the City Lord Residence. Even Zhan Beiye doesn’t stay in a place as good as theirs,” the subordinate said with certainty.

“Hehe, that’s odd.” Marquess Ning sneered.

Since when did a boor like Zhan Beiye know how to be humble?

With his temper, he would just give everyone a chilly look and treat them as if they had a deep feud with him. He really wanted to meet the couple that Zhan Beiye treated differently.

He looked at Zhan Beixiao and asked, “Do you know who those two are?”

“How would I know? Those are Zhan Beiye’s people, not mine.”

Zhan Beixiao nursed his lips- He was not curious about the people around Zhan

Beiye at all and continued drinking his tea.

“You’re thinking too much, Grandfather.”

Marquess Ning was speechless.

He was angry. How could someone like Zhan Beixiao compare to Zhan Beiye?

This was not the first time he had thought this way. He wondered what sins he had committed in his life to have such a grandson!

“I was really overthinking it.”

How could he expect Zhan Beixiao to know anything? He was a complete idiot! He instructed the people outside loudly, “Guards, send Prince Xiao to rest.”

Two men dressed as servants walked in immediately and approached Zhan Beixiao.

“Grandfather, I…

Zhan Beixiao was stunned. He had just arrived. He was thirsty and hungry!

Why was he dismissing him in the middle of a conversation? Rest? Didn’t his grandfather say he wanted to meet Zhan Beiye? He should have brought him along!

He might not do much, but he could help his grandfather from the sidelines.

He would also be happy to see how badly Zhan Beiye was tortured by his grandfather.

Why couldn’t he make such a small wish come true?

“Behave yourself if you want to leave Duoya City alive!” Marquess Ning glared at him and threatened.

“I… I’ll leave, okay?”

He had to lower his head when necessary. His father would never be too impudent in front of Marquess Ning. Hence, he should leave.

He stood up slowly and left. When he arrived outside, he instructed the people around him to prepare a table of delicacies.

Marquess Ning, who was in the living room, could hear him and merely sighed softly.

“Make preparations. I’m going to investigate the City Lord Residence personally tonight, ” he instructed his subordinate.

“Yes, my lord,” the subordinate replied and went to prepare.

An Jiuyue poured a cup of tea and handed it to Qian Jiyun. “Are you sure you want to use Marquess Ning to practice?”

“Why do you ask?” Qian Jiyun took the teacup and looked at her.

“Marquess Ning is not an easy opponent. Didn’t you hear what Zhan Beiye said?” An Jiuyue said.

She was a little worried. She had a feeling they wouldn’t gain anything from Marquess Ning. There must be more to him than meets the eye.

“As far as I know, Marquess Ning is the reason why Zhan Beixiao is so favored. Think about it. Zhan Beiye’s grandfather’s family is not as powerful as Marquess Ning’s.

“Yet, strangely enough, the Emperor avoids Zhan Beiye, not Marquess Ning.

Don’t you think it’s suspicious?”

“You’re thinking too much.” Qian Jiyun smiled.

He did not want to dig deeper into the secrets of the Zhanling royal family..
