"Great Zheng Sacred Court, Brocade-Clad Guard Centurion, Wu Xu, pays his respects to the Thirteenth Army Commander!" Wu Xu said solemnly.
"Huh?" Yi Lan Que and the other two were slightly stunned.
Yi Lan Que's father and ancestor were both bewildered by Wu Xu's form of address, and Yi Lan Que was the first to recover.
"Great Zheng Sacred Court? Brocade-Clad Guard Centurion?" Yi Lan Que said in a low voice.
Zhuangzi had several disciples, and each disciple had a separate lineage. The Yi Family had inherited one of them, while Wu Xu before them came from another. In the past, because Zhuangzi's disciples were not on good terms, the different lineages viewed one another as enemies.
Although Wu Xu had only entered Zhuangzi's Daoist Rite Ground a short while ago, he had already made quite a name for himself and had repeatedly clashed with the Yi Family. He was actually a minister of Great Zheng? A Brocade-Clad Guard? A Centurion?
Although Yi Lan Que knew that Zhong Shan's ambitions were vast, even he was startled by this scene. Had Zhong Shan already begun working on Zhuangzi's Daoist Rite Ground?
"I am indeed a Brocade-Clad Guard of Great Zheng. The Sacred King has received the Thirteenth Army Commander's letter. Three hundred years ago, I was sent here. These years, I was forced by circumstances to target the Yi Family as well. I hope the Thirteenth Army Commander will not take offense," Wu Xu said at once.
"You did nothing wrong in the past. Since you are a Brocade-Clad Guard of Great Zheng, I will not blame you. But what is this about you calling me the Thirteenth Army Commander?" Yi Lan Que immediately asked.
"Thank you for your understanding, my lord. The Sacred King appointed you Thirteenth Army Commander yesterday.
