Chu Li rolled his eyes as he glanced at Qiao San. "It's rare to find someone so loyal."
Qiao San scoffed. "You know the Crown Prince's social standing. Although you, Chief Chu Li, also have a high position, you can't speak in such a manner to the Crown Prince!"
Chu Li asked, "What rank is he?"
"Ranking isn't everything." Qiao San scoffed.
"Pfft." Chu Li let out a burst of laughter as he turned around and looked at Leng Tao. "Crown Prince Tao, it seems that this your Protector of yours doesn't care much about rankings. I'm incredibly impressed by his bravery!"
Leng Tao coughed softly. An audible flap could be heard as he swung open his fan. He spoke after waving it a few times. "Ranking isn't that strongly respected in the world of martial arts. What they value is bloodlines, and mine is royal!"
"Unfortunately, you're not in line to become the next Emperor." Chu Li shook his head. "You're nothing but a glutton. Sad!"
