Chapter 69: Permanent Mark?

Qi Zhen snorted, crossing his arms. "I don’t like her. Why do you keep someone like that around? Mark my words, she’s going to cause trouble someday."

"Jade is not like that," Sheng Fei defended. "She just cares too much. And she’s invaluable. No one else has a network as vast as hers. How do you think I manage to have spies in the Emperor’s court?"

Qi Zhen groaned in frustration. "Still, if I were you, I’d keep a close eye on her. Something about her rubs me the wrong way."

Sheng Fei stood there for a moment, his gaze flicking to the empty corridor Jade had disappeared down. "I will," he murmured, though he didn't take Qi Zhen’s words seriously for he believed Jade would never cause trouble for him.
