Chapter 101: The Poison

Xu Shan glanced at the Princess in the distance. She was sitting around a table. Two cups were placed before her, one for her and one for her brother that she was supposed to meet. 

There was also a teapot with some fresh tea. However, before they could even approach the table, she asked Xu Shan to show his face. 

Even Ming Yan was curious about Xu Shan's face. However, he hadn't asked in fear of offending the envoy. 

He thought that Xu Shan had some scar or something on his face, which made him use the mask.

"What are you thinking about? Don't tell me you're going to hide your face, even now?" The Princess asked again. 

"Why shall I hide?" Xu Shan responded, placing his fingers around his mask. "However, the question shall be, can you afford to see my face?"

The Princess frowned in response. "Are you saying that I can't afford to see your face? You're quite brave, aren't you?"
