Blag!
The sound of the wooden door welcomed the soldiers' ears as they were about to launch their attack. Hutong Li Jie pushed the palace gate closed and walked back inside. His goal was only to tell the men to scram and not to chitchat. He grinned while seeing Ye Shin's satisfied expression. Somehow, pride swelled in his heart.
The face of the general quickly turned red in anger. His hands formed a fist while staring at the closed palace gate.
"Since when did that useless son of Hutong Faction make a connection with the Xihua palace? He actually dare to tell us to scram!?" the scholar suddenly asked after seeing the arrogance reflected in the boy's face.
"Shall we attack, general?"
"No, it's already dark. This palace is sacred. We also don't know what are the traps inside. Let's retreat and report to our patriarch first." the general commanded. Even in his anger, he did not make any reckless movement.
