Ye Qingchen was kind enough to save face for the manager. If the Patriarch of the Xue Family found out about this, the consequences would be much more severe than just resigning from the position.
Xue Zhao said nothing, and the manager, seeing this, immediately agreed.
"Lord Xue Zhao, you can see for yourself; this request came from him."
Xue Zhao didn't say any more but waved his hand coldly. "Immediately investigate the prison thoroughly. If someone has indeed escaped, manager, you know the consequences."
The manager and a group of cultivators quickly responded and sprang into action.
Ye Qingchen looked at Xue Zhao, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes. If Xue Zhao hadn't arrived in time, he might have returned empty-handed this time.
Xue Zhao watched the manager and the cultivators swiftly leave, the coldness in his eyes gradually dissipating, replaced by a gentler and slightly mischievous look.
