Liao Zhihe looked over the IOU in his hand. Seeing that everything was in order, he beckoned to the soldiers behind him.
"Only ten people can enter at a time!" A soldier carrying a box walked up to Yuyangzi and said.
Yuyangzi looked at the soldier before him, anger and confusion on his face, and waited for an explanation.
"We only have a little over ten spare Crystal Tablets here. Anyone holding one can pass through directly. We'll arrange for one of our people to go in with you. After the first ten enter, our person will bring the Crystal Tablets back, and then another ten can go in. It'll work like that!" Now that he had received the IOU, the soldier's tone softened somewhat. At least he was willing to explain.
Yuyangzi looked at the Crystal Tablets in the soldier's hands, his gaze darkening.
"Even if you snatch them, only ten people can get in. And we have a way to enter the formation without using Crystal Tablets. So, to keep from wasting everyone's time, you'd better cooperate. The more cooperative you are, the faster you'll get inside!"
After hearing the explanation, Yuyangzi swallowed his pride. In the end, he held back his anger and nodded to Liao Zhihe.
"Move it!" Liao Zhihe called to those who had received Crystal Tablets. "There are plenty more people waiting behind you!"
At that, another surge of fury welled up in Yuyangzi's chest. How badly I want to strangle him!
Wu Dayi and Zheng Dali, hidden in the shadows, had watched everything unfold. They nodded in satisfaction.
"Pass the word down. From here on, don't make things difficult for the people of Longevity Hall! There's nothing left to strip from them anyway!" Wu Dayi said to Zheng Dali beside him.
