The Story of Dusk 185 THE BET BETWEEN THEM

When Mo Xuan Fei arrived at the Emperor's study room, the same eunuch announced his presence and after there was a word from Mo Qian Yuan to let him in, only then the guards lowered their spare and let him to step inside the room.

Mo Xuan Fei thought that this act was totally ridiculous. Wasn't Mo Qian Yuan himself who had asked him to meet him in his study room, so for what that eunuch acted as though he was coming uninvited?

He closed his eyes to calm himself.

The moment the eunuch opened the door, he found Xiao Jun and Mo Qian Yuan was sitting face to face while sipping wine from their own cup.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

He greeted both of them casually and sat at the empty sit, pouring himself a cup of wine. If he could be anywhere, this place would be the last thing in his thought.

"I am sure you have met each other before this." Mo Qian Yuan started his hypocritical introduction.

Xiao Jun glanced at Mo Xuan Fei and nodded politely. "Instead of the crown prince Mo Qin Yi, the Emperor had sent Prince Mo Xuan Fei instead to greet me the first time I came to Rockstone Kingdom." He replied with sarcasm that barely could be sensed.

Mo Xuan Fei curled her lips into a faint smile, he liked this attitude of Xiao Jun. Even though his words were a bit harsh and sounded like he was looking down on him, but in reality, he didn't feel offended at all.

Mo Qian Yuan sipped his wine again as if he didn't hear the sarcasm in the way Xiao Jun was talking to him. "Good if both of you have known each other, I would like for you two to work together."

Xiao Jun sensed something amiss in his words, but kept his mouth shut as he paid no attention into it and asked calmly. "What kind of work together?"

Mo Qian Yuan glanced at Mo Xuan Fei before he answered Xiao Jun. "I would like to let prince Mo Xuan Fei to accompany you in your journey to retrieve secret information from Azura's military." He said straightforwardly.

Xiao jun stunned in a second before his face resumed his calmness. This old ginger obviously didn't believe him even a bit, although he had let Qianru to stay in his palace rather than returned her to Azura, he still put his guard, ridiculously, high against him.

Something that Xiao Jun should have known, however Mo Xuan Fei's involvement was out of his calculation.

He didn't like the idea for having someone else accompany his journey. It was simply bothersome.

Xiao Jun looked at Mo Xuan Fei profoundly while the other person was playing with the wine cup between his fingers nonchalantly.

"I am not sure that I can work together with him." Xiao Jun gave Mo Xuan Fei harmless smile. "I don't know anything about him."

"You will know each other along the journey together." Mo Qian Yuan apparently couldn't receive a rejection as he cut Xiao Jun's rejection directly.

"I have told you Imperial father, that Prince Xiao Jun would be more comfortable if he was working alone." Mo Xuan Fei threw a careless excuse. "It is just a pity that Prince Xiao Jun didn't want to know about me further as I could be a good partner for you." Mo Xuan Fei gave a lopsided smile as he continued fiddled with a cup in his hand.

"Is that so?" Xiao Jun raised his eyebrows as the light conversation was filled with hostility everywhere. Depressing atmosphere started to spread inside the study room because of the three people conversation. "I don't think I need to try to know that you are not the right person for me, for this mission." Xiao Jun stopped and then added. "I meant no offense."

What Xiao Jun had said wasn't wrong either, because along this time, people only knew Prince Mo Xuan Fei as a calm prince that learnt poetry and art. An aggression mission like retrieving a secret letter and information, simply didn't suit him well.

Moreover, not many people knew that Mo Xuan Fei could fight, actually his swordsmanship skill wasn't bad either. However people tended to overlook this and indulge themselves with the kind and soft attitude of Mo Xuan Fei.

"Don't worry prince Xiao Jun. I didn't feel offended." Mo Xuan Fei answered him leisurely. He knew that he would get this reaction from Xiao Jun.

Because if he was reacting otherwise he would question Mo Qian Yuan's judgment for sending him to his journey, a man without plan would go all the way with other people plan like a dead fish that would go with the flow.

Xiao Jun was a young and smart man, if he made to the throne of Azura, he would be the Emperor who was loved by his people.

Even in Rockstone kingdom, the news about Xiao Jun travelled fast about how he solved the problem with different method without a single victim.

His victory after victory had won his people heart, even until now there was still chanting his name and thought of him as the rightfully Emperor, instead of Xiao Zi, Xiao Jun's imperial uncle.

"I will assume that rumor out there about Xuan Fei, who is better with poetry and calligraphy rather than sword and strategy, has really clouded your judgment on him." Mo Qian Yuan said righteously. "Prince Xiao Jun should try confront Xuan Fei yourself to see how good he was with sword and secret plan."

Mo Qian Yuan was hinting something else when he said a 'secret plan'.

Xiao Jun felt the ambiguity in his words, but could point his finger about what the issued while the other hand, Mo Xuan Fei knew exactly what his father meant with his words.

"I am good with a secret plan." Mo Xuan Fei said nonchalantly, he looked straight at Xiao Jun, there was no emotion in his eyes. "If I win against prince Xiao Jun then I will do whatever you wish." He suggested.

"I wish you to step out from my business." Xiao Jun replied with innocent smile on his lips.
