Hong Batian's stern and authoritative face was full of anger, killing intent spilling over, sweeping towards Ah Jiu. Hoo Die, standing beside Ah Jiu holding a sword, stepped forward and glared at him.
The guards on both sides were tense and ready for confrontation. Only Ah Jiu remained completely unfazed, instead picking up a teacup again and pouring a cup of tea for Hong Zhentian.
"Young Jhin, provoking this old man does you no good." Hong Zhentian was quite frustrated with Ah Jiu's attitude.
Ah Jiu pushed the tea in front of him, only then lifting his head to look at him. "If it weren't for the fact that Old General Hong also acknowledges the current imperial court of Nanyue's inaction, how could you be provoked? Rather than saying you were provoked by the young prince, it's more accurate to say you were angered by Emperor Jiaping and the others' actions."
