Long Teng stopped upon hearing this, glanced at the Turtle Chancellor, and said, "Turtle Chancellor, Su Mo has a grace of a favor toward me. Let this matter rest right here!"
Long Teng's tone admitted no refusal. Finished speaking, he strode away from the Punishment Hall.
The Turtle Chancellor was instantly dumbfounded at this. The crown prince simply didn't give him a chance to speak further!
Yet since the crown prince said the matter rested here, he was unable to put Su Mo to death.
"Turtle Chancellor, farewell!" Su Mo wore a smile, cupped his fists slightly toward the Turtle Chancellor, and then followed Long Teng out of the Punishment Hall.
"You...!" The Turtle Chancellor gazed at the smile on Su Mo's face, fury burning fiercely in his heart. Yet unable to vent it, he could only watch helplessly as Su Mo departed with dashing ease.
"Abominable!"
After Su Mo and Long Teng walked far away, the Turtle Chancellor let out a furious roar of anger.
Su Mo followed Long Teng as they walked through the dragon palace, arriving at the Crown Prince's Mansion not long after.
The Crown Prince's Mansion was very large, its gardens filled with colorful coral and looking breathtakingly beautiful.
In the garden, Su Mo and Long Teng sat facing each other across a stone table.
"Brother Su, you once saved me. This time you killed someone from my dragon palace, so I won't pursue it!" Long Teng said in a deep voice.
"Pardon me!" Su Mo nodded, considering it an apology to the other. After all, he had killed the other's people.
"No matter, they were merely a few outsiders and branch clansmen. If you had killed someone from the inner clan, I wouldn't be able to protect you!" Long Teng shook his head
