If just a moment ago Xue An had only shocked these people, then after he uttered those words, all the elders' faces changed dramatically.
Zhuge Banzang stepped forward a few paces and took a deep breath, whispering something in the ears of his father and several elders.
The onlookers did not catch what they were discussing.
But after Zhuge Banzang finished speaking, looking at Zhuge Yuan and the other Zhuge Family elders, the dissatisfaction from moments before had vanished, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity and reverence.
"Senior, please forgive us for our blindness in failing to recognize you; we truly deserve death!" Zhuge Yuan said with utmost respect.
And those few elders, throwing aside their dignity, hurried to approach Xue An.
"Senior, forgive us!"
"Please, Senior, pardon our offense!"
