Yang Xi Ruo immediately realized her mistake and corrected herself, "Young master Jun, it's a surprise seeing you here."

The way that she spoke now sounded formal and distant which was completely different from how she had talked to him before.

When Jun Xie heard this, he didn't know why, but he felt a bit uncomfortable.

Before he could even say anything, the sixth prince suddenly took a step forward. Taking advantage of the fact that Yang Xi Ruo was a bit caught off guard by this situation, he took her hand and asked, "Ruo Ruo, who is this friend of yours?"

Seeing and hearing all of this, the uncomfortable feeling in Jun Xie's heart grew stronger.

Yang Xi Ruo had a trace of disgust flash in her eyes when she realized what had happened, but since they were in public, she couldn't just throw away his hand like she wanted to. Instead, she politely took back her hand and said, "Your highness, this is my friend, young master Jun Xie. He's from the Jun Family."

As she said this, she made sure to stress the Jun Family so that the sixth prince would understand what backing Jun Xie was from.

But the sixth prince wasn't in the mood to care about this at all. His jealousy had completely swallowed his reasoning and there was only hostility in the way that he looked at Jun Xie.

Jun Xie didn't notice any of this as he focused on what she had just said.

Your highness…

It seemed like she was here with one of the princes…

As he looked closely, he recognized that it was indeed the sixth prince that she was here with and on the side was the eighth prince along with Ouyang Xun.

This was a gathering of these heirs of high ranking nobles and royals, it wasn't a place for someone like him. If it wasn't for the fact that he knew Yang Xi Ruo and that this was Lin Fan's store, he would have most likely been dragged out by the guards of the prince when he approached.

When Ouyang Xun saw all of this, he couldn't help revealing a smile that was very hard to see.

After all, this had all been planned by him.

He had sharp eyes and he hadn't missed how Yang Xi Ruo had acted around Jun Xie. He had even made sure by sending out spies to watch them in secret to see what kind of relationship they had.

He also knew that the sixth prince was famous for having affections for Yang Xi Ruo.

Once he saw how close the two of them were, it was hard to predict what he would do, which was what he had counted on.

Seeing the results now, he really couldn't say that he was disappointed. After all, it had gone much better than he had expected or could have expected.

Ouyang Xun took advantage of the strange atmosphere at this moment to come forward to say, "Junior Jun, it really is a coincidence running into you here."

Jun Xie was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard this voice.

He turned to see Ouyang Xun and he couldn't help narrowing his eyes, but then remembering that they were currently in front of the princes, he knew that he couldn't act like this. So he calmed his expression and said, "Senior Ouyang, it really is a coincidence. I didn't know that you knew about this store as well."

Ouyang Xun gave a chuckle and said, "I heard about it from a friend, so I was interested." Then he turned to the eighth prince and said, "I remembered that the eighth highness was interested in this kind of stuff, so I brought him along as well."

Acting as if he had suddenly thought of something, he said, "That's right, I forgot that I haven't given you an introduction yet." He gestured to the eighth prince and said, "Junior Jun, this is the eighth highness." Then gesturing back to Jun Xie, he turned to the eighth highness and said, "Your highness, this is Jun Xie, the young master of the Jun Family."

The eighth prince had already heard the surname Jun, so he had a bit of interest in this person. However, when he heard that this Jun Xie was the young master of the Jun Family, his smile couldn't help becoming wider.

He also felt a bit of admiration towards Ouyang Xun for setting all of this up.

Ouyang Xun had already told him that he would help him create relations with the Jun Family, but he had never told him how he would do it. All he had said was that they needed to come to this store, which he was already hesitant to do.

But now that he had met the young master of the Jun Family and even had a chance to create relations with, this trip was definitely worth it.

​ The Jun Family's wealth was big enough that it even moved his heart as a royal.

The eighth prince immediately said with a wide smile, "Young master Jun, I've long heard of your fame. It really is a happy coincidence being able to meet you here today. I really have to thank brother Ouyang for bringing me to this place."

Jun Xie knew that he couldn't be rude to the eighth prince, so he said with a bow, "Your highness, it is this little one's honour to meet you."

But before he could finish his bow, the eighth prince had come forward to stop him from bowing. Even the eighth prince couldn't help feeling that his magnanimous gesture was moving, but that was only in his mind.

Jun Xie could already guess what he was planning, but he also knew that this family was firmly set on remaining neutral.

His father had always told him that remaining neutral was the best way to maintain their family status. If they were to ever meddle in the succession battle, it was certain that they would lose everything before gaining a single thing.

The sixth prince had calmed down a bit and he finally realized which family Jun Xie was from. As he realized this and he saw how the eighth prince was approaching Jun Xie, he couldn't help feeling a bit of regret.

But remembering how Jun Xie had talked to Yang Xi Ruo and how she had responded, he couldn't help feeling angry again.

No, even if this person was from the Jun Family, he wouldn't allow him to touch his Ruo Ruo!

With this thought, his hostility towards Jun Xie once again filled his heart.

Yang Xi Ruo knew that something bad was going to happen seeing the look in his eyes, but she couldn't react in time to stop him.

The sixth prince came forward and said, "Is it really a coincidence?"

The eighth prince, Ouyang Xun, and Jun Xie turned to look at the sixth prince with a confused look.

The sixth prince continued with his confident expression, "You saw the way that he greeted Ruo Ruo, it's clear that he is stalking her."

Yang Xi Ruo immediately felt a wave of disgust fill her when the sixth prince said this.

Stalking?

If one had to mention stalking, it should be said that the sixth prince was the one that was stalking her.

He had basically threatened her to take him to this store and now he was claiming that someone else was stalking her?

If it wasn't for the fact that her status stopped her from saying anything, she would have angrily berated him right at that moment. Not to mention that she felt anger for Jun Xie being treated by the sixth prince like this.

Jun Xie just had his eyes on Yang Xi Ruo the entire time and seeing that she wasn't saying anything, he couldn't help feeling more uncomfortable even though his brain told him that this was a very normal thing to do with her status.

The eighth prince's eyes lit up when he saw this because even he was able to recognize the opportunity this created.

The eighth prince came forward and said, "sixth brother, I think that your words are a bit too harsh. I'm sure that this is nothing more than a coincidence and it's not what you think at all."

The sixth prince didn't care as he gave a snap and pointed at Jun Xie before saying, "Guards, take this man away and beat him for me!"

There were a few people that suddenly came out of the crowd and started moving towards Jun Xie.

As a prince, naturally he would have guards that would follow him around secretly to ensure that he was safe. So it wasn't strange at all that these people would suddenly appear out of nowhere.

When the eighth prince saw this, he said, "Guards, stop them."

There were several people that also came out of the crowd and stood in between the people that came out first and Jun Xie.

Since the eighth prince was also a prince, he also had guards with him.

After that, he turned to the sixth prince and said, "sixth brother, this is a clear abuse of power. I think that we should leave matters here today."

But the sixth prince had already lost himself in his rage and jealousy again when he saw that Yang Xi Ruo had been about to interfere with his guards on Jun Xie's behalf. The only reason that she hadn't in the end was because he had grabbed her hand again.

He turned to Jun Xie and said, "Guards, make this man disappear."

The guards clearly looked uncomfortable doing this since they knew that this would become a big matter, but since the prince had already given his orders, they had no other choice.

The guards of the eighth prince also looked back at him and seeing him give a nod, they once again faced the guard of the sixth prince, not intending to allow them to take a single step forward.

Everyone could sense that something big was about to happen as the guards of the sixth and eighth prince were about to clash, so they all took a few steps back. Of course, not a single person left because they all wanted to see this matter first hand.

Even the World Realm Guards of the eighth and sixth prince also moved as they prepared to join the fight if things got too intense.

Lin Fan saw all of this and finally he chose to interfere.

He had left them alone because he hadn't wanted to get involved in matters with the royals, but since they were about to start a fight in his store, he had no choice but to get involved.

But before he could, there was a person that walked up and stood between the two sides.

After looking at both sides, he said in a deep voice, "That's enough! Aren't you afraid of embarrassing yourselves?"
