Hearing Xia Hong's playful tone in addressing him, Cai Qiuhu's face displayed no anger, but he instead showed interest, studying Xia Hong for another moment, then said with a smile, "I never expected that the little Southern Slope Territory, not only produced a Meng Hu like Yang Zhun, but could even nurture a figure like Lord Xia. It truly opens my eyes."
Cai Qiuhu's tone unexpectedly carried a hint of flattery.
And it was extremely sincere, not the mocking kind.
Xia Hong's eyebrows slightly raised; even though he knew there was a significant chance that Cai Qiu would not choose to antagonize Great Xia, Cai Qiuhu's gentle response to his provocation was still a bit beyond his expectations.
No wonder Cai Qianshan had already decided he would be the next Landgrave…
Since Cai Qiuhu showed goodwill, Xia Hong naturally wouldn't continue to provoke him. Laughing, he cupped his hands, saying, "I have just gained some minor fortune, not worthy of such praise from Little Landgrave…"
