The judges who were stopped by Lian Qing looked at Lian Qing very unhappily and asked, "Do you know who I am?"
Lian Qing remained neither servile nor overbearing, still wearing a calm and elegant smile.
"If the Emperor and Empress arrive, they still have to queue up. Or are you saying you're the Emperor?"
Lian Qing's question left the judge speechless, who shook his head and scoffed, "Ignorant."
He turned to leave, but before he could take a step, he was stopped by someone coming from the opposite direction—Sun Cheng, the head judge.
"Master Sun."
Master Sun just nodded casually, showing how high his status was.
When Master Fan saw Master Sun Cheng, his hands tightening over the dish he was preparing momentarily, but he then relaxed; he wasn't the young man he used to be.
