"What are you trying to say?" City Lord Guang furrowed his brows, a sense of ominous premonition washing over him.
As expected, Elder Ming whispered, "Your Guang Family's succession is ironclad. Unless you commit treason against the nation, you are all considered innocent." After a pause, he added, "If you get too close to certain people, you will lose the Emperor's favor! You must stay away!"
City Lord Guang's expression turned instantly frigid, as if spring had given way to the dead of winter. He chuckled coldly. "I understand. But I know what to do. Elder Ming, please leave."
"You…"
Elder Ming felt that City Lord Guang had lost his mind. How could a man who had always been so astute suddenly become so unreasonable?
"Hmph!" Disgusted by what he saw, Elder Ming stormed off with a flick of his sleeves.
A short while later, Wu Tian placed a historical record back on the shelf. "Alright," he said.
