"I haven't heard of it."
"Won't see them."
The voice of Xie Zhen drifted out slowly from the gap in the gate of the small courtyard atop Lotus Peak.
Venerable Bai Yu stiffened immediately.
He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Mr. Xie, I am here by the orders of Prince Jiangning..."
The title of Prince Jiangning was very effective in most places.
But this was an exception.
After bringing up the Prince, the small courtyard went completely silent instead.
...
...
"A mere Guest Elder of the Jiangning Xie Family refuses to see me even though I've come to apologize. And the airs you put on—acting as if you're 'someone of high status,' 'Venerable'... Refusing me at the door is already too light a treatment!"
Jiang Qihu sat inside the small courtyard, saying coldly: "You're still putting on airs, saying 'I am' and 'Venerable'... Turning me away at the door is too kind!"
Xie Xuanyi smiled lightly.
The arrogance of the Jiangning Xie Family was as he expected.
