Zhuge Manor.
In the main hall.
As the last bit of incense slowly fell.
Everyone felt a sinking in their hearts.
Because according to the estimated time, noon had arrived.
But Shen Wenyan and Wang Wenzong, whom Jiang Ning mentioned, had not appeared.
"Marquis, they..." A clan elder in the main hall spoke.
Just then.
Booming—
The mountains shook, and a loud noise erupted.
Zhuge Qingsong rose abruptly, looking towards the entrance of the manor.
"They have come!!" His tone was grave.
"Marquis, if your previous words were just to comfort me, then please leave via the back mountain immediately!" Zhuge Qingsong looked at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning stood up and shook his head: "There was no deceit."
"Let's go!" He proactively walked towards the manor's entrance.
Ji Mingyue followed closely behind.
Under the gaze of the Zhuge manor's clan elders, Jiang Ning and Ji Mingyue first crossed the threshold.
The clan elders immediately looked at each other, their eyes meeting.
