At that moment, Jiang Ye's ears perked up, and he asked suspiciously, "An, is Chen Yi really such a big deal? Even Prince Zhenbei has to personally receive him?"
"It's just a rumor, take it with a grain of salt," Xie Dongan casually remarked.
"I also think the rumors are not true, but now, inside the Kyoto Prefecture, in every tavern, inn, and among the common people in the markets, that's what they're saying."
Jiang Ye found it strange, as he remembered Chen Yi as not being such an ostentatious person.
Besides, Prince Zhenbei, Du Qing, is not the kind of royal who humbly pays respect to scholars and foreign princes.
"Somebody wants to test Chen Yi's mettle," Xie Dongan said with a light chuckle.
"Just probing, it won't harm him."
"Who would be so tasteless?" Jiang Ye said speechlessly. "Using such despicable methods on someone like Brother Yi, a Heavenly Pride?"
"Despicable? I don't think so."
