Seeing Fu Yao actually heading toward the hall entrance, Du Kang and Ma Hui Cao's expressions suddenly changed. The two of them stepped forward in unison, wanting to follow Fu Yao, but they simultaneously stopped, their movements perfectly synchronized, their faces the very image of each other.
"Senior Brother Du, after you," Ma Hui Cao gestured invitingly, wearing a playful look as he watched Du Kang.
The smile on Du Kang's face grew more insincere as he returned the gesture, saying cheerfully, "The able should go first, please, Senior Brother Ma."
Ma Hui Cao shook his head with a sly chuckle and said, "There's no need for us to keep up appearances here. With the Holy Lord and the Nine Dragons Saint inside the grand hall, do you think we have the audacity to barge in?"
Laughing, Du Kang replied, "That's exactly the point. We are not Junior Sister Fu Yao, she can enter, but we simply cannot!"
"Shall we wait then?"
