“As Your Highness said, I am a rough man in every way,” Zu An paused and said, “Now I am investigating the case by imperial decree, and everything is done in accordance with official business. If I have offended anyone, please do not take offense.”
The guards looked at each other, not expecting Lord Zu to be so tough and actually confront him head-on.
Where does he get his confidence? He clearly doesn't have any family backing. Isn't he afraid?
Of course, they had no idea that Zaun had even directly confronted the emperor in the secret realm, chatting and laughing with those legendary big shots. How could he possibly care about a mere emperor's sister?
Since they can't beat the emperor for the time being, it's enough for them to just put up with his temper on a daily basis. Who does this so-called princess think she is?
Anyway, she's closer to Prince Qi, so the emperor won't make decisions for her.
"How dare you use my imperial brother to intimidate me!" Princess Changshan was furious.
Zhao Xiao's anger level increased by 999!
"What's going on?" At this moment, a familiar voice came from not far away, and a group of people surrounded King Qi as he walked over.
Han Fengqiu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this and hurriedly ran over to whisper something to the King of Qi. The King of Qi quickly understood what had just happened.
"Second brother, this person..." Princess Changshan was interrupted by King Qi before she could finish speaking.
"Seeing that you hadn't arrived, I came out to check, and I didn't expect to find you here," King Qi smiled at Yu Nan and the others, then looked at Zu An, "Lord Zu, it's been a long time. Your cultivation has truly improved by leaps and bounds. You have an unprecedented talent for cultivation."
Princess Changshan and the others felt a jolt in their hearts. Only then did they realize that Zu An's cultivation level seemed to be around the ninth rank.
Although a ninth-rank expert is not uncommon for someone of their status, such a young ninth-rank expert is absolutely unique.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, such a person is bound to have a bright future. Even ordinary ninth-rank officials should not be humiliated, let alone someone like him.
Zuan smiled somewhat shyly: "My aptitude is actually quite average. I was even assigned to the worst class at Mingyue Academy. I was mainly lucky. Maybe good people get good rewards."
Upon hearing the phrase "good deeds are rewarded," the others nearly vomited blood. This guy was truly shameless.
King Qi thought about it a step further. The other party's aptitude was average, but his cultivation had progressed so rapidly. It seemed that this was all thanks to the Phoenix Nirvana Scripture.
That divine skill is truly as amazing as the legends say!
Thinking of this, his eyes became eager: "Lord Zu, it's better to arrive at the right time than early. I have prepared some light wine here. Why don't you join me?"
