Wu Long noticed that there was a man whose role, as Wu Long guessed, was to call for the guards who were standing by in the adjacent hall. But seeing the strange turn of events he was now nervously standing, not knowing whether to follow the pre-determined scenario or not.
Nie Guanting was now calm and would be easily able to solve any misunderstanding, thus there was now no way to make it a dispute between Wu Long and the Imperial authority.
Though Wu Long did not fear the consequences of going against the Imperial Palace guards but he did not enjoy playing into someone's hands, aside from times when it was a part of his own bigger plans.
"Um... can I ask you how are you so strong?"
Nie Guanting who was hesitating, quite obviously struggling with his own pride, finally decided to ask.
"Skill and knowledge"
