The Fourth Prince had planted spies among the Second Prince's retainers, so he knew every detail of the Second Prince's banquet for Lu Yang that day.
"Lu Yang managed to turn the tables and seize the initiative in an extremely short time. His scheming is truly admirable. Even Second Brother, who has always been known for his meticulous mind, fell into his trap."
Knowing that Lu Yang would be difficult to deal with, the Fourth Prince had sent gifts to the Meng Household for several days in a row, showing his goodwill.
Now, he felt that he had made his goodwill clear enough and could proceed with the next step of his plan.
"Brother Lu Yang, I've long admired your great name. Seeing you today, I find that your bearing is indeed extraordinary!" Like the Second Prince, the Fourth Prince stood at the entrance to welcome him, showing that he valued him. He even followed the etiquette of the jianghu. Rather than a noble prince, he looked more like a gallant outlaw hero.
The world said that he was bold and generous in his dealings, and that he did not care whether the people he befriended were highborn or lowborn. In reality, every person he befriended was useful to him. For this reason, he had sworn brotherhood with many unremarkable cultivators to conceal his true intentions.
Meng Jingzhou had temporarily entered secluded cultivation, and the Everlasting Immortal did not call for him.
Besides, the Everlasting Immortal felt that it made no difference whether Meng Jingzhou came or not. She had the Second Boss in her mental space to scheme and advise her.
Although the Second Boss was not as wise as she was, he could still serve as a reference.
The Fourth Prince secretly observed the Everlasting Immortal's attitude.
