"Prime Minister."
"Your Excellency."
Several Court officials and members of the royal family were also present at the event. Although they were not as numerous as the people of the Martial Arts world, their presence demonstrated the style of Tiance Pavilion.
The people from Qinghuang Mountain greeted Lin Heng with enthusiasm; however, that Zhang Minglou, thankfully having some smarts, reminded Qin Shaoyu not to be overly happy and affectionate, otherwise the Martial Arts community would have a poor opinion of them.
They had to feign civility, while Lin Heng was genuinely indifferent, merely giving them a glance without even greeting them, which made the atmosphere quite subtle.
After all... someone had died.
Lin Heng's decision to come was something the "Late Madam" Qin Yu truly hadn't expected, but she quickly realized something: villains are villains not just because they are cruel and evil with corrupt intentions but also because they are shameless.
