"Stop!"
Rong Hao roared in anger, immediately bellowing, "Gu Zhan, what is the meaning of this? I am acting under the written command of Lord Wan, yet you draw blades against me—is it because you have an issue with Lord Wan, or are you defying the Embroidered Uniform Guard? Are you planning to rebel?"
Gu Zhan glanced at the livid Rong Hao and said, "So you know that I, too, am with the Embroidered Uniform Guard? You allow such idle ruffians with neither office nor rank to draw weapons in front of me—do you truly believe everyone in the Rong Family has grown more than one head?"
"You—"
Rong Hao was furious, gritting his teeth, a surge of anger rising within him,
He had meant to bring experts from the Rong Family to assert authority, but had not expected Gu Zhan to seize upon this pretext to strike back.
"Put your blades away! All of you, out!" Rong Hao commanded coldly.
