Teresi descended from midair and walked straight up to Ye Luo and the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal. He respectfully bowed to the latter. "Senior Sword Immortal, my father visited your residence many times to invite you for a drink, but he never managed to see you. I never expected to meet you here today..."
The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal waved a hand. He seemed rather unfriendly toward Teresi. He beckoned to Ye Luo. "Kid, your people are here, so there shouldn't be any problems now. Handle the rest yourself. If we meet again someday, we can properly reminisce about our homeland..." As soon as he finished speaking, the silver longsword flew from the scabbard on his back. The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal leaped onto the flying sword, and with a flash of silver light, vanished without a trace...
Teresi watched the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal's departing figure. Rather than being displeased at having been ignored, his face was full of admiration. "As expected of a top-tier powerhouse. That strength and elegance are truly enviable..."
Ye Luo grinned. "Teresi, you have to stand up for me over Nicholas's slander today!"
Just as Teresi was about to speak, an airship flew over from afar. The emblem on it made Count Nicholas feel as though he had spotted family.
The hatch opened, and Durumen, the Deputy Minister of Finance, whom they had parted with only half a day ago, stepped out of the vessel. The moment Nicholas saw Durumen, bean-sized tears began to fall from his eyes. "Lord Durumen, I... I... my son, you... you..."
Durumen patted Nicholas on the shoulder. "Don't worry, Count Nicholas. I absolutely will not let Ernest's murderer get away!"
Durumen walked over. "Teresi, you should understand the seriousness of the Ernest incident..."
Teresi gave Durumen a slight bow.
