At those words, Qin An, still inside the room, frowned slightly.
The Second Prince?
He recognized who the visitor was. He had never expected the Second Prince, far away in the capital, to come looking for him in the Skycloud Circuit.
After a moment's thought, Qin An raised a hand and opened the door.
The rivalry among the Great Qian Kingdom's three princes was plain for all to see. Everyone knew just how fiercely they competed.
Not long ago, the Third Prince had come to discuss a partnership with him, and he had agreed.
There was no wall in the world that could keep out every draft. If the Second Prince had found his way here too, word of what had passed between Qin An and the Third Prince had likely reached other ears.
When the door opened, Qin An took in the scene before him.
At the entrance, Li Moyun stood in the middle, drenched in sweat and looking exceedingly tense.
Opposite Li Moyun stood a young man with an imposing bearing.
The man had handsome features and an air of nobility. Even his plain clothes could not hide the presence of someone accustomed to standing above others.
A trace of anger showed on his face as he berated Li Moyun.
"What are you? Nothing but a dog at Third Brother's feet! Someone like you dares block my way? Aren't you afraid I'll charge you with an offense against me?"
More cold sweat broke out on Li Moyun's forehead, but he did not retreat. He kept his place between them.
"Qin An has already met with His Highness the Third Prince. What you're doing is somewhat inappropriate. Perhaps you should go back for today?"
If it had been anyone else, Li Moyun would not have stood in his way
