On the main street, Li Fei walked side by side with Luo Shi, an agent sent by the Cessation of Hostilities Pavilion.
As an agent and a level-sixteen official, Luo Shi naturally had a private carriage to pick him up whenever he went out. However, he had received the news suddenly and rushed over at the fastest speed, so there was no carriage. He could only walk back to the Cessation of Hostilities Pavilion's headquarters with Li Fei.
Along the way, Luo Shi kept sizing up Li Fei. Seeing that Li Fei had remained calm and composed from beginning to end, he could not help clicking his tongue in wonder.
Was the courage of the First in History really this great? Noticing Luo Shi's gaze, Li Fei thought with amusement, "If he knew what I had transmitted to the First Prince at the end, he probably wouldn't even dare walk beside me now."
He was not worried that the First Prince would expose those words.
Losing to him today was already embarrassing enough. The First Prince would not slap himself in the face again.
Even taking ten thousand steps back, even if he really did tell others, they would still have to believe him.
As for the First Prince telling the Emperor those words, Li Fei was even less worried.
So long as the First Prince still had the slightest thought of claiming the throne, he could not possibly go complain. Doing that would only make the Emperor think him even more incompetent. Of course, even without those final words, Li Fei's series of actions today had already been brazen enough.
He had spoken from the heart, but he had also done it deliberately, intending to use this opportunity to test the reaction of those above.
