Chapter 279: They Would Look Like Fools!

As long as he kept an eye on Qian Jiyun and prevented the 18 Stockaded Villages from obtaining the prescription, he was sure Shen Yan would not be so patient as to not look for him!
He would definitely settle this score with them when the time came!
His expression suddenly turned calm as he smiled at Qian Jiyun.
“How would I not know that this is your military camp, Prince Zhan Yun? However, all the land under the sky belongs to the Emperor. No matter how big you are in this military camp, you are only… Prince Zhan Yun of the Second Rank!”
He also knew keeping an eye on Qian Jiyun was difficult.!!
Fortunately, he was prepared. It would be impossible for Qian Jiyun to give the prescription to Shen Yan and the others. He had not been Prince Lei Ting all these years for nothing!
Ai Qi smiled coldly. He had no intention of showing consideration for Prince Lei Ting’s feelings.
“You’re making it sound like the royal family belongs to you alone. Don’t think too highly of yourself, Prince Lei Ting.”
“You—”
Prince Lei Ting’s calm expression turned ashen again because of Ai Qi’s words.
Of course, he wanted the world to belong to him alone, but those were mere thoughts. The throne belonged to the capable, and he was not as powerful as his brother, so he could only watch it slip through his fingers.
It had been a thorn in his heart all these years! How could he not be angry when Ai Qi mentioned that he was inferior to the Emperor?
However, it was because that person was the Emperor that he dared not say anything in rebuttal. Even if the Emperor was not present, some words were not meant to be said aloud.
“Hmph! Talk as much as you can now. Let’s see how you can say all these things later!”
Upon hearing that, Shen Yan and the other two chiefs were furious, but they did not explode. They only stared coldly at Prince Lei Ting. They would look like fools if they scolded a person like him!
“Forget it.” Shen Yan shook his head and stood up. “Prince Zhan Yun, since Miss An is not around, we won’t stay any longer. Goodbye.”
He cupped his fists at Qian Jiyun and was about to leave with Er Ning and Ai Qi. However, it was clear that neither of them wanted to leave so soon.
“But, Big Brother…” Er Ning wanted to say something, but Shen Yan stopped him.
With Prince Lei Ting around, it was impossible to say anything to Qian Jiyun. If they expressed their concern for their Young Master, they could not guarantee that Prince Lei Ting would not target her.
For the sake of her safety, they should not ask Qian Jiyun about her whereabouts.
“Second Brother, let’s go back first.”
Ai Qi had thought of that, too, and tapped Er Ning on his shoulder.
Big Brother is right. The 18 Stockaded Villages are already a thorn in Prince Lei Ting’s side. We can’t let him know about our Young Master—at least, not now.
“Okay.” Er Ning took a deep breath and finally nodded. “Since that’s the case, we’ll meet again, Prince Zhan Yun!”
He and Ai Qi cupped their fists at Qian Jiyun and left with Shen Yan.
The two did not look at Prince Lei Ting the whole time. It made him so angry he almost flipped the table.
Unfortunately, this was not a place where he could behave atrociously. In the end, he had no choice but to endure it. He turned to look at Qian Jiyun, who had a calm expression and did not take him seriously.
