The eunuch narrowly avoided spitting up blood Your Excellency Grand Preceptor made me wait here for nearly two hours just for a reply like that?!
“Be careful on your way back to the palace,” Grand Preceptor Xie said as he waved a hand to dismiss him The Grand Preceptor’s simply reply was simply all talk and no action, but the eunuch still koed to express his thanks before leaving the study
“Grand Preceptor?” the little pageboy stationed outside his study saw the eunuch leave, and gave a call Grand Preceptor Xie si that his eboy continued to stand obediently outside the door Meanwhile, A’Mo and his brothers were all watching fro anxious that the Grand Preceptor still hadn’t budged

Xu Feiyu, Grand Preceptor Xie thought next Ning Yu wants to bring Xu Feiyu over to his side The Zhou siblings and Xu Feiyu are clearly irreconcilable, yet Ning Yu wants to bestow favor on the siblings to win the man over If that’s the case, the baby in the empress’s stomach must be Xu Feiyu’s child
When he realized this point, Grand Preceptor Xie’s cos and Xu Feiyu had siether to fool him He couldn’t help but want to applaud their act
“Grand Preceptor,” one of his stewards called fro master’s current condition…”
Grand Preceptor Xie slapped the table, frightening the steward into silence He backed down the steps and fled like a streak of s the table, but his face gradually regained its color For the sake of the Zhou Clan soldiers, what the Zhou siblings and Xu Feiyu did wasn’t wrong Now is not the tiure out what to do against Ning Yu’s recruitment efforts

The little pageboy scurried into the room in assent
“Take this oldto the capital barracks,” Grand Preceptor Xie said “Have Chen Lu personally lead troops to seal up all exits at Iron Buddha Temple Without my permission, no one is allowed to leave the premises”
The little pageboy accepted the orders and ran off Meanwhile, Head Steward Xie Laibao had two servants carry him to the study to ask for an audience
“Come in,” Grand Preceptor Xie rubbed his temples as he spoke
Xie Laibao entered and reported, “Grand Preceptor, this servant has finished ements for the banquet It’s still set for tomorrow?”
“Go according to the plans,” Grand Preceptor Xie replied “We can’t afford any more exceptions”
Xie Laibao quickly assented as he patted his chest “Grand Preceptor, don’t worry This servant has planned it all out”
Grand Preceptor Xie was far too preoccupied to worry about tomorrow’s feast trap He was noholly concentrated on the Zhou siblings and Xu Feiyu when he suddenly realized he could use the e Yu
“Grand Preceptor?” Xie Laibao saw that the Grand Preceptor had been tuning him out, and had no choice but to call his name
Grand Preceptor Xie didn’t even bother looking up at Xie Laibao “You can take care of the details,” he told Xie Laibao The head steward then realized that Grand Preceptor Xie had s to worry about that the assassination of the Poison Sect leaders
