Soon, four men arrived together at the entrance of the main courtyard.
Before they were seen, they were heard. A hearty laugh echoed, growing louder as they approached:
"Hahaha! Lord County Magistrate, your presence graces our humble courtyard with splendor."
Hearing this coarse voice, Chang Younian, who was still outside the gate, frowned slightly and sighed inwardly.
'If these members of the Noble Races actually become Noble Families... it'll lower the status of the Noble Families as a whole.'
But there was no choice. They were the best of a bad bunch. After all, in all of Jade Peak County, only these Noble Race factions were willing to "obey."
'It doesn't matter, anyway. As long as the plan goes smoothly, I won't be staying here for long.'
Chang Younian forced himself to ignore the man's manner of speaking, maintaining a dignified yet amiable attitude.
Seeing the men emerge, he clasped his fists and smiled.
