CHAPTER 290: CHAPTER 290: SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING

Both are century-old foxes, why play these tricks?

Wei Wushang and the Fourteenth Prince have never gotten along since they were young. If you were to say who understands the other better, they’re definitely evenly matched.

"I’m not playing, really!"

The Fourteenth Prince answered solemnly.

Wei Wushang curled his lips and said, "Fourteenth Cousin, it’s been so many years. Every time you try to outsmart me, you like to call yourself ’Gu.’ Then, when I expose you, you switch to ’I’!"

"All these years, I’ve told you many times, have you ever changed?"

"Uh..."

The Fourteenth Prince was dumbfounded and didn’t speak.

After a while, the Fourteenth Prince shrugged and said, "Alright, alright, you’ve won again!"

"I say, Cousin, can’t you be a little dumb sometimes?"

The Fourteenth Prince looked at Wei Wushang with a bit of grievance, "Do you know that being so smart puts a lot of pressure on me!"

"Do you think I believe that?"

Wei Wushang rolled his eyes at him, "Out with it, what are you here for? Don’t try to trick me, otherwise, we’ll go to the training ground and spar for a round or two!"

"Sheng Xueyi!"

This time, the Fourteenth Prince genuinely confessed.

"You’re indeed a romantic!"

Wei Wushang glanced sideways at the Fourteenth Prince. This remark was clearly not meant as praise.

The Fourteenth Prince spread his hands and said, "Cousin, you are familiar with the Yuan Family, so you must know things that I don’t, right?"

"I do know!"

Wei Wushang pondered briefly, sighed, and said, "Sheng Xueyi is strange!"

About Sheng Xueyi, Yuan Yindi had discussed with Wei Wushang, particularly mentioning the oddities at the Sheng Family Manor during the Sanchuan City military turmoil. Subsequently, Wei Wushang arranged for someone to investigate Sheng Xueyi secretly.

The final conclusion was that Sheng Xueyi is strange.

"What’s strange?"

"Conjuring something out of nothing!"

Wei Wushang took a deep breath, "I had someone secretly follow this woman and found that she frequently takes things out of thin air!"

"Wait, tell me in detail!"

Upon hearing Wei Wushang’s words, the Fourteenth Prince frowned tightly.

"No way to be detailed!"

Wei Wushang snorted, "That’s just how it is."

"Sheng Xueyi must have some special means; this is her secret. So far, I haven’t figured it out yet."

"As expected of a woman I’m interested in!"

After hearing Wei Wushang’s words, the Fourteenth Prince was initially confused, then had a look as if it should be so.

"Fourteenth Cousin, this woman is prickly. I advise you to be cautious!"

Seeing the Fourteenth Prince’s self-satisfied look, Wei Wushang directly flicked his forehead.

"That’s too much!"

The Fourteenth Prince, whose forehead was knocked by Wei Wushang, glared, "Do you have no sense of hierarchy?"

"No!"

Wei Wushang wasn’t accommodating the Fourteenth Prince’s quirks at all.

"You’re awesome, I can’t provoke you!"

The Fourteenth Prince gave in decisively.

Others were afraid of him, but this cousin of his never took him seriously.

"Fourteenth Cousin, I’m seriously talking to you!"

"This woman, Sheng Xueyi, has big secrets. If you stumble across her secrets, it definitely won’t be good for you."

"So, you absolutely must be careful!"

Having been rivals for many years, Wei Wushang could already tell from the Fourteenth Prince’s eyes and expression that he planned to confront Sheng Xueyi as soon as he returned.

"Don’t worry, your cousin is not stupid!"

The Fourteenth Prince waved his hand suavely, not taking Wei Wushang’s advice to heart.
