The other man got up from the ground as he replied, "You heard what he said. He doesn't consider himself a part of the clan so why would his majesty care?"
That was indeed a good question. Why would Qilin San care about Ji Yao when he wasn't a threat in any way shape or form. Unfortunately for him, he won't find out how much of a threat his grandson was until it's too late.

Another less obvious threat was in the middle of an arena holding a double blade sword in his hand as he wiped away the sweat from his forehead.
Rui Fei looked down at the weapon in his hand with a thoughtful expression. When his grandfather gave this to him he had thought that it was just an accessory for show as he had never needed a weapon when he was fighting.
But the moment he injected his seraphic energy into the weapon he felt heavy like he was working much harder than before.
