"All the better, then!"
Seeing Jiang Xiaobai actually declare that he would not argue his way out, Teng Zixiu felt no joy. Instead, his expression grew even darker.
Indeed, the fact that Jiang Xiaobai dared say such a thing showed just how arrogant he was.
Teng Zixiu immediately snorted and took the lead toward the Chancellor's Residence.
Xiao Qin and the young martial artist exchanged a glance before quickly following him.
But just as the three reached the gates, several servants of the Chancellor's Residence stopped them.
"Halt!"
One of the servants frowned. "This is the Chancellor's Residence. What business do you three have here?"
"Gentlemen..."
Teng Zixiu drew a deep breath and said politely, "We are Visiting Scholars from Northern Yu, and we have an urgent matter to discuss with the Chancellor!"
"Please announce our arrival!"
Hmm?
The servant was rather surprised.
What were Visiting Scholars from Northern Yu doing at their Chancellor's Residence?
The servant who had questioned them frowned and was about to ask further when something caught his attention.
Jiang Xiaobai was standing behind the three men, signaling to them.
The servant naturally understood. Clearing his throat, he looked at Teng Zixiu. "In that case, you three... may enter!"
That easily?
Teng Zixiu looked rather astonished.
He had already prepared everything he would say next.
Yet... a single sentence had been enough to get them inside?
Once his surprise passed, a hint of admiration appeared on Teng Zixiu's face.
Though he felt some aversion toward Great Hua, the Chancellor's Residence was still the Chancellor's Residence. Its generosity was truly extraordinary!
Just as Teng Zixiu was about to enter, something occurred to him. He turned to the servants. "Oh, let those four behind us come in with us as well!"
Huh?
The servants were instantly baffled.
