Lei Fan had always stayed within the Imperial Palace and seldom stepped out. Even when he did step out of the Imperial Palace, the entourage he brought out would always be exactly the same as today.
Jun Wu Xie crossed her arms over her chest, looking completely unruffled and unruffled as she surveyed Lei Fan who had suddenly appeared upon the battle arena. Ever since the Spirit Battle Tournament had begun till now, the Fourth Prince had not shown himself once. Even on the day when Lei Chen had held a banquet and invited all the contestants, Lei Fan had still not shown up. His appearance here today had really surprised everyone.
The man in charge of the first battle district immediately went forward to welcome him. Everyone knew how much the Emperor doted on the Fourth Prince and that honour was something that even the current Crown Prince could not compare to!
"I did not know that the Fourth Prince had arrived and was not able to come out to welcome you. I beg for your forgiveness!" The man said in a trembling voice.
Lei Fan's naturally smiling eyes narrowed up slightly, not showing the slightest displeasure, but looking just like a naive and ignorant child. "My Lord need not stand on ceremony. I am just here to take a look. My Lord, please allow everyone to carry on and do not bother about me."
The man nodded repeatedly.
The feeling that Lei Fan gave people was completely different from Lei Chen.
Lei Chen had deliberately created the image of a humble and submissive gentleman and although it made people feel close to him, it did not make people forget his identity. But this Lei Fan was no different from any other child, looking completely innocent and unscheming. That smiling face of his almost made people subconsciously forget that he was a prince.
Almost immediately after Lei Fan opened his mouth to speak, the highly tense atmosphere within the battle arena began to ease up and many people began to develop a favourable impression of Lei Fan's personality.
Lei Fan found himself a seat within the battle arena and coincidentally, he sat right beside Qu Ling Yue.
Qu Ling Yue was on familiar terms with Lei Chen and with her status as the Young Miss of the Thousand Beast City, she had even been to the Yan Country's Imperial Palace before and she was rather familiar with the princes of the Yan Country. Hence, when Lei Fan sat down beside her, Qu Ling Yue was not surprised.
"Will Big Sister Ling Yue be taking part in the tournament today as well?" Lei Fan asked Qu Ling Yue with a smile on his face.
Qu Ling Yue nodded. She was not familiar with Lei Fan, but Lei Fan's demeanour made her unable to not like him.
"I'm the last one. It's still early."
Lei Fan rested his chin in his hands, his eyes blinking as he stared at the youths within the battle arena. His gaze seemed nonchalant, but he was secretly observing every single person within the battle arena. After sweeping his gaze over the entire arena, Lei Fan still did not find his target and his heart could not help but grow suspicious. He turned his head to ask Qu Ling Yue: "Father said that there will be a lot of highly impressive characters participating in this year's Spirit Battle Tournament and he had specially asked me to come here to take a look, to learn a thing or two. Father said that I'm not getting any younger and it's not good for me to continue on like this. Hence, I came running here. Elder Sister Ling Yue, I heard that a peerless genius has appeared in the first battle district. I think his name is … Jun Xie? Is it true? "
Qu Ling Yue looked at Lei Fan. Lei Fan was a little younger than she was and coupled with the innocent tone in his voice, she did not think much of it and just assumed that he had been cooped up in the Imperial Palace for too long.
"Yes, that is Jun Xie." Qu Ling Yue said as she raised up her hand, pointing at the tiny figure standing behind the crowd, almost invisible.
In the instant that Lei Fan's gaze fell upon the figure of Jun Xie, a strange glint flashed briefly within his eyes and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.
"Jun Xie seems to be about the same age as me. I'll go learn from him." Lei Fan said as he stood up from his seat and walked towards the direction that Jun Xie was in.
