"Ah, well..."
When Li Jingxing heard the young man demand the Hidden Edge Tokens, embarrassment immediately showed on his face.
"Relax."
Noticing Li Jingxing's expression, Li Jingfeng assumed his younger brother was afraid of losing. He immediately said, "This senior won't lose!"
"Eldest Brother, I... that's not what I mean!"
Li Jingxing's expression grew even uglier, and his voice strained as he said, "All three of our Li Family's Three Hidden Edge Tokens have already been lost in wagers!"
"What?"
The young man froze, his expression darkening. "You lost all three?!"
"Yes!"
Li Jingxing gritted his teeth and shot Jiang Xiaobai a resentful glance. "They... they all went to this Heir Apparent of the Jiang Family!"
"The Jiang Family?"
Following Li Jingxing's gaze, Li Jingfeng soon looked toward Jiang Xiaobai. "The Northern Guardian Marquis's Estate?"
"Oh, it used to be the Northern Guardian Marquis's Estate!"
Jiang Xiaobai said, "Now it's the Duke of the State's Estate!"
"The Duke of the State's Estate?"
Li Jingfeng sounded surprised. "When did that happen? How come I haven't heard?"
With that, Li Jingfeng turned his gaze toward Li Jingxing.
"The Northern Guardian Marquis's Estate has indeed become the Duke of the State's Estate!"
Li Jingxing nodded helplessly.
At that moment, Xiao Qingheng, who had been sitting there without saying much, spoke up as well. "The Duke of the State's Estate put righteousness before kinship a few days ago, preserving the dignity of our imperial family!"
"To reward the Northern Guardian Marquis's Estate, my imperial father made an exception and elevated it to the Duke of the State's Estate!"
"So His Highness the Crown Prince is here too!"
Only upon hearing his voice did Li Jingfeng notice Xiao Qingheng. He immediately nodded in acknowledgment, but then confusion returned to his face. "Put righteousness before kinship?"
