"Lord Xu, please go in. His Highness, Prince Jing, is waiting for you inside."
Xu Kai nodded and walked into Sanhe Hall.
Although the Earth Fire Dragon had been hastily lit, the room was still somewhat cold and gloomy.
Yan Jun sat on a chair, his face, which usually presented a hard and cold front, now showing a trace of weariness.
"This humble subordinate greets Your Highness!" Xu Kai was about to kneel and bow, but Yan Jun stopped him.
"Lord Xu, you are a pillar of our nation. Why bother with such formalities? Quick, a seat for him!"
A young eunuch quickly brought over a soft stool.
Xu Kai didn't stand on ceremony. After expressing his thanks, he sat down.
However, Yan Jun didn't get straight to the point. Instead, he chuckled and started making small talk with Xu Kai.
Yan Jun went through a list of questions, asking things like how many years Xu Kai had been in office and if his parents were still in good health.
