"This should conclude our profiling of both Qin families on the list, Tiantain," Hu Dengxiao said. He glanced down at the scrolls under his arms. They were light, but the words felt heavy.
Lu Tianbi nodded. "I heard there was a commotion in the palace," she informed.
"When is there not a problem in the palace?" Hu Dengxiao snorted, as he stretched his neck side to side. "With so many women vying for our Zhenzhen, I'm surprised there wasn't a bloodfest already."
"I wouldn't be surprised if there is one soon," Lu Tianbi said. She reached forward, grabbing for the scrolls.
At the last minute, Hu Dengxiao turned his body and her hands landed on his arm. Before she could say anything, he spoke up first.
"What do you mean by that Tiantian?" Hu Dengxiao asked. When she attempted to take the scrolls again, he swiveled in the other direction whilst shooting her a dirty glare.
