Chuanwen was watched to leave. Once outside the palace, he sneered, "Did you think I wouldn't know what happened inside just because you chased me away? I have a divine artifact in my hand! Ha! Ha! Ha!"
The laughter following Chuanwen was enough to make one imagine a roar to the sky. Zheng Yan, who was always following behind, had several black lines on his handsome face. He really didn't need to be so arrogant!
