Lei Chen was just about to stand up to follow when Lei Yuan tugged at his sleeve.
"What is Second Brother doing?" Lei Chen asked with a frown as he looked at the rotund Lei Yuan.
Lei Yuan said in a low voice: "My Royal Brother is so intelligent, how can you not see what Father is trying to do? Since Father is intending for the Fourth Emperor to interact more with Jun Xie, my Royal Brother should not spoil Father's intentions. I know that you are on good terms with the Zephyr Academy and even if you give up on Jun Xie and my Fourth Brother, aren't there still a few others?"
Lei Yuan had seen Jun Xie's prowess before. But today, the Emperor had asked for Jun Xie to interact more with Lei Fan, wasn't that obvious?
Lei Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the Emperor sitting upon the throne, deep in thought. The Emperor's gaze coincidentally fell upon Jun Xie at that moment. Lei Chen was silent for a moment before he finally gave up on his earlier plan and sat upon his seat to drink his wine.
Lei Fan had already come to stand beside Jun Xie at that moment. He looked at Jun Xie smilingly and asked: "Does Jun Xie find today's banquet interesting?"
Jun Xie did not say a word.
Lei Fan seemed to have gotten used to Jun Xie's icy cold personality and did not pay it much mind.
However, just as Lei Fan was about to say something else to Jun Xie, the guards outside the palace suddenly came in to report.
"Your Majesty, the Grand Adviser has arrived."
The Emperor suddenly woke up and was just about to speak when his gaze subconsciously fell upon Jun Xie. He suddenly said: "I think at Jun Xie's age, he would not like the dull atmosphere of the banquet. Little Fan, as a prince, you should naturally entertain Jun Xie well. This song and dance might not be to his liking. Why don't you bring Jun Xie to the Imperial Gardens for a stroll? They have just grown some new green chrysanthemums this year."
The Emperor's sudden suggestion caused everyone at the banquet to be stunned for a while before they reported the Grand Adviser's arrival. Why had the Emperor not opened his mouth to let them in but had instead asked Lei Fan to bring Jun Xie to the Imperial Gardens for a stroll?
Everyone at the banquet had their own thoughts on the Emperor's actions and only the four youths from the Battle Banner and the Dragon Slayer Squad were secretly envious of the Emperor's "favouritism" towards Jun Xie.
The Emperor had invited him to a banquet and he was worried that a youth like him might be bored and he had even asked Lei Fan to accompany Jun Xie for a stroll. What a great honour that was!
Jun Wu Xie nodded and did not reject the Emperor's suggestion.
Lei Fan glanced smugly at Lei Chen and he led Jun Xie out of the banquet hall with a wide grin on his face. When the two of them walked out from the doors, Jun Xie immediately saw that graceful and elegant figure.
A handsome looking man who looked to be in his early twenties, dressed in a long silver grey robe, stood with his hands by his side outside the palace doors. His face was as handsome as the bright moon in the sky, but what really surprised Jun Wu Xie was that person's hair.
His silver hair hung loosely behind his back, held together lightly by a silver hairband. His face was filled with a light and gentle smile. When he saw the figures of Jun Xie and Lei Fan, he only shot them a smiling gaze and did not say a word.
After Jun Xie and the others left, the silver haired man standing in front of the door turned to the respectful little eunuch beside him and asked: "The youth who left with the Fourth Prince, who is he?"
The little eunuch replied honestly: "That is a disciple of the Zephyr Academy, and his name is Jun Xie. He is a guest invited by His Majesty tonight."
"Oh? So he is Jun Xie. " The corners of the silver haired man's mouth curled up in a smile and his feet suddenly shifted, turning in a different direction as he walked away.
