Qiao Heting took a deep breath to calm his urge to beat Sikou Ming.

He understood that Sikou Ming was doing that to him intentionally.

“Mr. Sikou, if you have nothing better to do with your mouth, should I buy you some snacks?” Qiao Heting looked at Sikou Ming. “Quangqing Province is famous for their snacks. You’re used to eating expensive foods, so trying some of these snack stalls should be interesting.”

“Are you serious? Someone like you eating at snack stalls? Aren’t you embarrassed?”

“The most important thing for every person is food. That always comes first. Are you telling me that you only drink rainwater and absorb sunlight as your source of nutrition? You don’t look like it. You’re not a deity but a peasant.”

‘You!”

Sikou Ming’s face had turned red from the provocation.

The sight of that made Qiao Heting feel better.

“I’m the straightforward type. I’m sorry if I offended you.”

“You sure are something else.”

“Should I introduce you to the good snacks here in Guangqing Province?

“Forget it!”

Sikou Ming had lost the urge to talk to Qiao Heting.

Qiao Heting just smiled at that.

Since the two of them had equal status and the same authority, they would always fight each other when they met in the Imperial City.

However, the way they fought had never been rough. The fights were nothing more than arguments.

In the end, they were both from prestigious families. If they really fought with violence, it would affect their families.

Sikou Ming didn’t want to spend more time with Qiao Heting, but he could not refuse the summons from the Third Prince.

He still needed to spy on the Third Prince.

When Qiao Heting and Sikou Ming arrived at where the Third Prince was staying, the prince was tending to a plant.

‘Greetings, Third Prince.” Sikou Ming bowed. His father, Sikou Zhendong, had warned him over and over again not to offend the Third Prince, as he would never win against royalty.

“Welcome, Mr. Sikou. We are not in the Imperial City, so just address me as the Third Heir.” The Third Prince did not stop tending his plant and did not look toward Sikou Ming. “What a coincidence it was. My servant was out buying something for me and told me that he had spotted you. That’s why I asked Heting to invite you over.”

“You don’t have to get Heir Qiao to do that. I would have come immediately if you had sent one of your servants to notify me. Why have you asked me to come over, Third Heir?”

“I was always weak and fragile back in the Imperial City and never had the chance to hang out with people my age. Now that I’m in Guangqing Province, my father won’t be able to keep an eye on me. So I should let loose a little.”

“What do you mean?” Sikou Ming had a bad feeling about it.

“I heard that you are the best person to learn how to enjoy life from. That’s why I need you to show me around when I’m here.”

“S-show you around?”

The Third Prince put the shears down and turned to look at Sikou Ming. “Didn’t you say that having fun should be a priority? No one is better at fun than you.”

Sikou Ming didn’t even know how to reply. “T-those were just rumors spread by people who hate me. T-those were just lies.”

His task was to keep an eye on the Third Prince and not bring him out to have fun.

If anything were to happen to the Third Prince, even having ten heads wouldn’t save him from being beheaded by the emperor.

He completely regretted going to meet with the Third Prince.

“Is that going to trouble you? Or are you dissatisfied with guiding me?” The prince sighed. “Oh, well. I shouldn’t trouble you that much either. Don’t worry. I’ll just secretly follow you. No one will notice me.”

Sikou Ming’s eyes widened immediately.

He was put in an even tighter position.

He could not refuse, and he could not agree to it.

Sikou Ming kept wondering why he followed Qiao Heting to meet with the Third Prince.

He wasn’t even happy that the Third Prince had invited him since the Sikou clan had pledged allegiance to the Great Prince.

If he were caught accompanying the Third Prince, then the Great Prince might suspect something.

If the Great Prince were to become the next emperor, he would have to suffer in the future.

“Third Heir, I…”

“Don’t worry about money. I’ll be paying for everything. There is a lot that I have yet to experience despite living for so long. I should try them, no? Well, it’s decided, Mr. Sikou. Why don’t you have dinner here tonight? Let’s have fun tomorrow.”

The Third Prince didn’t even give Sikou Ming a chance to refuse.

After a short pause, he turned to look at Qiao Heting. “I’m a little tired. Why don’t you accompany Mr. Sikou for tonight?”

The Third Prince then picked up the potted plant that he was trimming up and headed back into his room.

Sikou Ming was left completely speechless.

“Let’s go. We should let the Third Heir have his rest.”

Qiao Heting left first.

Sikou Ming gritted his teeth and chased after Qiao Heting. “Qiao Heting! Did you tell the Third Prince something about me? Why do I feel like he’s targeting me?”

“Hold it!” Qiao Heting said. “Don’t even try to decode what the Third Heir is thinking. What? Are you refusing to bring him out? Why don’t you just refuse him? Stop blabbering in front of me.”

“Did I even have the chance to refuse? Why didn’t you dissuade him?” Sikou

Ming yelled back at Qiao Heting. “I feel like you have set this up for me!”

Qiao Heting stopped walking and turned to look at Sikou Ming. He couldn’t help but wonder if Sikou Ming was really stupid.

They weren’t even friends, yet Sikou Ming was complaining to him.

“Sikou Ming, we can’t stop what the Third Heir wants to do. Also, if you don’t want to do it, refuse it on your own. Stop spouting nonsense in front of me. I have a bad temper.” Qiao Heting then cracked his fist.

That immediately shut Sikou Ming up.

There was nothing he could do. He could never win against Qiao Heting in a fight.

He wasn’t stupid enough to get beaten one-sidedly.

Sikou Ming wanted to leave the mansion, but without asking the Third Prince, he couldn’t do so.

He then blamed his servants for being stupid since they didn’t think of a way to get him out.

Sikou Ming kept feeling that going to the Guangqing Province was a mistake. Not only could he not fulfill the task set by his father, but he might even be in trouble..
