The young boy straightened his back. He could already envision himself as a member of this palace in the future, and he felt his pride swell as he imagined the respect and jealousy others would feel when looking at him in the future.

The guards could easily understand the thoughts of the boy. He was young and unable to hide his emotions, and many had the same aim as him; many wished to climb onto Jiang Yao's leg.

The guards did not take him very seriously as they knew that even if he had some sort of notice for the Seventh Demon Prince, then it would not be his highness himself who would come to pick up the letter; at most, it would be the housekeeper.

Even so, they did not shatter the boy's dreams as they understood his wish to get stronger, and they also respected that he had seen their master as the most capable of making him achieve his goals in the future. At least he had good taste, and picked their master over the Fourth Demon Prince.

Just as the boy reached the gates and was about to inform them of the letter that he had been tasked with delivering, the gates swung open, and two figures appeared from behind.

One was Jiang Yao, while the other was an exquisitely beautiful young man. The boy had never seen such a beautiful man before, but he felt somewhat repulsed. Men were supposed to be sturdy and muscular. He did not appreciate such a beautiful man as he was likely to lose the face of men.

Even so, he did not say anything outright as he had recognized the Seventh Demon Prince by the beautiful man's side.

He bowed deeply and respectfully stretched the letter out with both hands while still bowing over. The attitude was very respectful, and even Luo Xiao felt that the boy was very diligent. Even so, he was not suited to say anything, as he clearly recognized the outfit of the young man.

The uniform of the auction house where they had agreed to set up an auction was easily recognizable, so the letter was likely to contain some sensitive information about this event.

Jiang Yao casually accepted the letter and opened it. After reading it, he merely raised an eyebrow in amusement before crumbling it, freezing it, and shattering it into thousands of tiny shards, which slowly melted away.

Luo Xiao was not aware of what was written, but he did not sense any difference in Jiang Yao's aura, so he did not think it was important.

Although the young boy had already handed over the letter, he had not left right away. He hesitated to speak, but his eager eyes were glued to Jiang Yao with a fanatical reverence.

Luo Xiao could not help but frown slightly. He knew that many idolized his lover, but he did not like to witness them looking at him with such hot eyes.

It was not that Luo Xiao doubted Jiang Yao's loyalty towards himself, but he was feeling uncomfortable when others were coveting him.please visit pαпᵈα-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

Luo Xiao had undergone a very big change in personality throughout the time he had been by Jiang Yao's side. When he met him the first time, he would never actively show his feelings, but now when he felt uncomfortable, he would not suffer in silence.

He reached out his hand and grasped Jiang Yao's fingers. The cool skin was pleasant to the touch and calmed the displeasure within the young man's heart.

The moment their hands touched, Jiang Yao tightened the grip, and a gentle smile surfaced on his cold face, giving him a soft expression.

The young boy noticed the subtle interaction between the pair and instantly understood that they were more than just friends. He felt a bit uncomfortable when he realized that the man he admired had found a useless lover.

He was not against the fact that Jiang Yao's lover was a man, but he felt prejudiced towards Luo Xiao as he was simply too beautiful for his own good. Even without understanding the young man, he had already judged him to be an empty embroidery pillow; beautiful on the outside, but empty within. He could not have any skills that would make him worthy of being the partner of Jiang Yao.

Jiang Yao had personally witnessed how Luo Xiao had matured, but this was the first time he personally swore sovereignty like this, and his heart was fluttering with excitement. His Xiaoxiao was willing to tell everyone that they belonged together!

Seeing the silly smile on Jiang Yao's face, Luo Xiao could not help but feel like a warm current entered his heart, making him feel sweet. He smiled gently and completely forgot about the boy who had caused his annoyance just moments before.

Jiang Yao was equally uncaring towards the boy. He was used to being respected and admired, so this boy's intentions were clear, but due to his actions having annoyed Luo Xiao, he was unwilling to take him in.

Although Jiang Yao was extremely capricious, everyone was already aware of his mood swings. When he happily led Luo Xiao past the young boy, no one seemed to find anything wrong with his actions.

However, the young boy looked at the two of them with a pale face and a hurt expression in his eyes.

He was not planning on competing with the young man for favor, but he still disliked the young boy, which had proven to be the death sentence for his daydream of becoming a member of Jiang Yao's men.

He could not help but feel uncomfortable when he realized that even a pretty boy was more important to the Seventh Demon Prince than a talented youngster who could help him claim the throne for himself.
