Xu Yan and Instructor Wang came to a stop before Chang Yusheng.
Xu Yan's gaze made the latter's scalp prickle. He did not dare meet his eyes, swallowing hard as his pupils darted about.
"Chang Yusheng, Young Master Yan has something to discuss with you." Wang Quan frowned and said gravely.
Chang Yusheng took a deep breath, trying hard to calm himself. He cupped his hands and said, "Young Master Yan, what do you seek me for?"
A smile played on Xu Yan's lips, but his gaze was sharp as he looked at him. After a few silent breaths, he raised a brow. "You are Chang Yusheng? Why I have come looking for you—could it be that you truly do not know?"
Chang Yusheng's expression became somewhat ugly. "Please enlighten me, Young Master. If Chang Yusheng has offended you in any way, I will certainly apologize."

Chang Yusheng was also stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Young Master Yan, are those words not somewhat too severe?"

It seemed they were searching for the Fifth Prince.
The latter was more than a hundred zhang away, sparring with Kuai Chen
