Chapter 24: An Assassin

Qi Yu glared at the instigator before turning to Li Mingjue with a flattering smile, her tone sycophantic as she said, "Prince, your wisdom and martial skill are unparalleled; how can others even be compared to you."

Li Mingjue knew she was just spouting nonsense with a straight face, but the coldness in his eyes still dissipated quite a bit.

Shen Xiheng, standing nearby, let out a sneer and commented, "It's hard not to admire the Princess's talent for talking nonsense."

Qi Yu tilted her chin up at him, saying with a proud look, "Thanks for the compliment."

The corner of Shen Xiheng's mouth twitched, was he actually complimenting her?

However, he glanced at Li Mingjue and found his usually indifferent friend had a trace of a smile in his eyes, which made him pause in surprise.

It was just about lunchtime, and Shen Xiheng shamelessly decided to stay for a meal.

At the dining table, Qi Yu's ferocious eating left him with no small amount of psychological shadow.
