A few nobles, upon hearing these words, paused mid-expression, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Could these villagers really dare to mock them?
Although their words conveyed no such intention, how could they not understand the implied meaning under such circumstances?
Their expressions shifted subtly.
Zhou Bai, having watched his villagers finish their sarcastic remarks, cleared his throat lightly and then addressed the few nobles, "Please do not blame them, my lords. They are merely overly curious and mean no harm. Guests come first, my lords, would you please follow me inside?"
It was time, a chance to offer a way out had to be given.
Just because he didn't want the other party to dominate his territory did not mean he wanted to offend so many territories all at once.
After all, Hope Village would still need to do business in the future.
It had to be said, seeing Zhou Bai's polite inquiry at this moment, the nobles' tempers were considerably assuaged.
