Si Ning felt like he spent half a day just getting to the peak of the stairs and with his sluggish movement he found himself beside Shao Lang and he sighed, relieved that he made it into the courtroom and he was glad that Shao Lang didn't wait for him when he was climbing the stairs, it would have been embarrassing for Si Ning that he couldn't help but walk slow and Shao Lang would notice if he had waited.
Si Ning noticed Shao Lang kept glancing at him but Si Ning didn't turn nor try to make small talk or even say his greetings out of politeness, he knew Shao Lang wasn't going to talk to him since he completely ignored Shao Lang when he was trying to talk to him in the previous court assembly so it won't be odd if Shao Lang thought he was going to be ignored again.
"Xiao NingZi." Xiu TianZhao said when he rushed in to stand next to Si Ning and an announcement of the Emperor arriving was made which saved Si Ning from replying to his greeting.
