Fortunately.
A voice from a Hanling Temple monk, coming nearer from afar, broke the deadly silence among those present, "Honored donors, the vegetarian meal has been prepared properly, and dining at Hanling Temple requires no payment of silver. However, the meal only consists of vegetarian dishes, without any meat or fish."
The speaking monk was a little novice monk who also quickly realized that the atmosphere was somewhat off.
He couldn't help but swallow his saliva nervously and weakly reminded, "Honored donors?"
"Heard it! Heard it!" The Nanjun County Prince touched the wound on his crown and grumbled with a grimace, "Damn it, it really hurts. Not even the Emperor has hit me like that."
For a commandery prince with half-black and half-white hair to speak of the Emperor in such a familiar way did indeed seem somewhat out of place.
But who can blame him if cultivators generally have longer lifespans?
Perhaps...
That Emperor was still the reigning Emperor.
