Three days later.
"I said to just fly over directly, but no, we have to go through the city gate and show our credentials. What a hassle!"
After just passing inspection and entering Moran City, Zhan Tian complained.
"Rules!"
Liu Sheng said only two words.
"Screw the rules, my rules are the real rules."
Zhan Tian sneered.
Except for the Imperial Palace, Zhan Tian was the rule.
This was the difference between him and Liu Sheng.
As the Chief Eunuch of the Ritual Departnt, no matter where he was, Liu Sheng adhered to the rules of Great Yu.
If even he didn’t follow them, how could the Ritual Departnt convince others?
"Shut your mouth!"
Liu Sheng couldn’t take it anymore; he was truly driven crazy by this obnoxious fellow during this ti.
Kept on babbling nonstop.
No wonder he’s a loner; who could stand soone like this?
But his voice was too loud, and they were on the main street, so the people passing by stopped and looked on curiously.
"Let’s go!"
Being scrutinized by these ordinary people, Liu Sheng felt uncomfortable and imdiately quickened his pace.
"What the hell are you all staring at!"
Zhan Tian cursed and quickly followed.
...
At the entrance of Prince Xuan’s Mansion.
Two old n, and one of them had a bird on his shoulder, which was a miniature Winged Draconic Beast.
Tantai Kun cast a glance at the two n, and inexplicably, his heart felt as though it was being pressed by a heavy stone.
"Ease up!"
Liu Sheng glared at Zhan Tian.
This wasn’t Dark Moon; couldn’t he restrain himself a bit?
"It’s all your fault, arguing with just now!"
Zhan Tian blad Liu Sheng.
"Hoo—"
Liu Sheng took a deep breath, thinking to himself, "Stay calm, stay calm, he’s a jerk, getting angry is bad for your health!"
A mont later, he cald down.
But he didn’t show him a good face; spending too much ti with this obnoxious fellow would take years off his life.
Then he walked towards Tantai Kun.
However, as he drew nearer, Tantai Kun’s heart tensed.
"Don’t panic, they’re acquaintances, go tell your Prince Xuan that Old Man Liu is here."
A gentle smile appeared on Liu Sheng’s face.
In an instant, Tantai Kun’s oppressed heart beca at ease.
"Alright, your humble servant will report this imdiately!"
This ti Tantai Kun didn’t ask a single question, directly entering Prince Xuan’s Mansion. Only after walking a fair distance did he co back to his senses.
"What’s going on?"
His heart was filled with shock because this wasn’t like him at all.
Not even asking a question!
"Those two... are terrifying!"
Thinking of this, his pace quickened significantly, and monts later he arrived at Shi Jian’s place and relayed the situation from outside.
"Old Man Liu?"
Shi Jian furrowed his brow.
Having once served the Crane King and Chen Xuan, he imdiately knew these two were not simple.
He then quickly took out the Communication Spirit Talisman, "Lord Xuan King, two old n have arrived from Molan Mansion, one calling himself Old Man Liu!"
Awaiting the response, he quickly instructed Tantai Kun, "Invite these two into the grand hall and serve the best Spirit Tea."
"Rember to be courteous!"
"Yes!"
Tantai Kun promptly dashed out. Even the Chief Steward was this serious, recalling the situation just now, these two old n were definitely extraordinary.
At the entrance of Prince Xuan’s Mansion.
"Is this really necessary? If I shout, that kid wouldn’t dare not to co out and greet us!"
Zhan Tian grew a bit impatient while waiting.
"You are at least the head of the Three Judicial Departnts and also a senior. Can’t you act like one?"
Liu Sheng genuinely wanted to smack him, to teach him what rules an.
At this mont, Tantai Kun happened to step out.
"Head of the Three Judicial Departnts?"
His heart skipped a beat, "Could it be...?"
He imdiately approached the two, thinking of the happiest mont in his life, letting the happiest smile appear on his face, "Honored seniors, Lord Xuan King is not in the mansion, but has been inford and should be returning soon."
"Please co into the main hall for so Spirit Tea and wait a mont!"
But Zhan Tian raised an eyebrow, very dissatisfied, "What’s that rascal gone off to do now?"
"Let’s go in!"
Liu Sheng shook his head, feeling truly exhausted, then said to Tantai Kun, "Lead the way!"
"Yes, yes!"
Tantai Kun nodded continuously and extended a hand, "Please, honored seniors!"
"It really is them!"
He thought to himself, if it wasn’t them, how could they casually call Lord Xuan King a rascal?
He led them into the grand hall, and as Shi Jian instructed, the maids imdiately served the best Spirit Tea from Prince Xuan’s Mansion.
And now he stood there respectfully, awaiting orders.
"Where did that rascal run off to?"
Zhan Tian drank a sip of Spirit Tea, just about to put it down, and Shi Jian skillfully took the teacup and replied respectfully, "Reporting to senior, Lord Xuan King didn’t say, but he’s already aware and is rushing back to the mansion."
"That rascal does nothing right all day, just stirs up trouble."
Zhan Tian curled his lips.
"That’s enough already, calling him a rascal, a rascal; he is a prince after all."
Liu Sheng looked at him disapprovingly.
"Oh, now you’re defending him, but we don’t even know how things stand yet, and it also depends on whether he’s willing or not."
With outsiders around, Zhan Tian’s words were sowhat reserved.
After all, the successor to the Ritual Departnt, if this news got out, it would definitely cause a huge uproar.
He understood the importance of discretion.
And right now, in the space fracture, Chen Xuan was already using the Rule of Space to hurry back.
When Shi Jian sent the ssage saying it was an Old Man Liu, he instantly guessed it must be Liu Sheng.
