After hearing Wei Yidao's words, both men looked terrified. One of them, in particular, turned somewhat pale.
Still, they could only steel themselves and walk over. Both were merely in the martial realm, and they dared not defy a hall master's words.
When the two reached Huang Xiao and the others, Wei Yidao asked coldly, "Which of you went to report our arrival? Has the message been passed on?"
At those words, the younger one fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowing desperately as he pleaded in a tearful voice, "Forgive me, Hall Master! I-I haven't gone yet-"
The other man beside him dared not remain standing either and likewise knelt and kowtowed. He had gotten himself mixed up with this man, after all. If Wei Yidao flew into a rage, he would be implicated too.
"You're courting death!" Wei Yidao roared furiously.
"Spare me! I-I'll go report it right away!" the disciple cried hastily.
"Too late!" Wei Yidao said, his face dark. "Guards!"
At his shout, two martial realm guards nearby immediately came over.
Quite a few people had already noticed the commotion, and naturally, these guards had too.
But upon seeing that it was Wei Yidao, hardly anyone dared approach and ask questions on their own initiative.
Only now, after hearing Wei Yidao speak, did the two come over.
"Take these two away and tell Ma Jing that unless he gives me a satisfactory explanation, I will not let this matter rest," Wei Yidao said coldly.
"Yes, as you command!" With that, the two guards hauled up the two men, who had all but collapsed on the ground, and took them away.
As for Wei Yidao's demand, the guards could only take it back and report it to their superiors. Their ranks were too low for them
