The Dark-Faced Man Long Shuo
Hearing Ye Xuan's order, the wretched Mosquito Slayer immediately turned around and left.
As for Uncle Kong, he'd already said everything that should be said. As for the specifics of how this matter should be dealt with, it wasn't something that an Internal Chief Manager of the Prince's Estate like him could decide. Thus, he silently took two steps back and stood silently at the side with a posture of waiting for instructions at any moment.
Among the three people behind Ye Xuan, Yingtai also did the same. She did not say a word. Although she had obtained the approval of the Imperial Tutor and even had an Imperial Tutor Token in her hand, she was not a member of the Imperial Family. She was not even human. Therefore, she had no right to speak on this matter.
At most, if Ye Xuan needed her to do something, Yingtai would do her best to do it.
On the other hand, Naples and Xuanyuan Ziying immediately frowned after exchanging glances with each other. They had worried looks on their faces.
Unfortunately, the two of them were also not members of the royal family. It was inconvenient for them to interfere in this kind of matter, and they even hesitated to give Ye Xuan a suggestion. The battle for imperial power could be said to be incomparably dangerous. Any small mistake could lead to eternal damnation. They didn't dare to speak carelessly.
As if feeling the heavy atmosphere, Ye Xuan turned around and looked at everyone. He then grinned, "Why are you all so serious? Isn't it just the Imperial Clan Court? Since it is an incomparably fair internal organization of the Imperial Family, this prince is also a direct descendant of the Imperial Family. How big of a mistake did I make? They can't just directly push me out and behead me, right? If that is the case, I'm afraid that the Imperial Clan Court's Prefect Long Shuo might be a spy of the Tianji Clan. He beheads a direct descendant of the Imperial Clan at the slightest provocation … "
This joke was not good at all. Naples and the Purplish Warbler were fine when they did not hear it, but when they heard it, they immediately rolled their eyes.
However, Yingtai and Uncle Kong were still expressionless, as if they did not hear it.
At the same time, as Ye Xuan finished his joke, a resonant middle-aged man's voice suddenly came from outside the gate of the eighteenth prince's mansion.
"There were people who scolded me in private. Half a year ago, there was even a descendant who scolded me for being a dog after getting drunk …"
"Of course. After that, the first thing this person did every day after waking up was to lie in front of his own courtyard and bark a hundred times. Counting the time, there's still half a year left. It should be over."
"But this is the first time I've heard someone call me a spy of the Tianji Clan. It's still fresh …"
"Most importantly, you did it in front of so many people. Prince Xuan is indeed extraordinary. At the very least, your five useless brothers wouldn't dare to do such a thing!"
As these words rang out one after another, a middle-aged man with a burly figure, a round, tanned face, and a long beard all over his face, walked in through the gate of the Eighteenth Prince's Mansion.
There were not many people following behind him, only two of them. They were also dressed in black and gold. They were expressionless, but their cultivation auras were not weak at all. They were both at the peak of the ninth level of the Mystic Light Realm.
As for the person walking at the very front, his identity was clear from his words. He was the Imperial Clan Court's Deputy Long Sheshou. Even the current Immortal Emperor had to call him uncle when he saw him. However, he did not reveal any aura of cultivation. At a glance, he looked like an ordinary citizen of the dynasty.
Ye Xuan was dumbfounded!
Naples and the Purplish Warbler behind him sighed and rolled their eyes at Ye Xuan.
Yingtai was still expressionless.
As for Uncle Kong, he was obviously shocked by this coincidence. He shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Then, he cupped his fists and bowed slightly to the dark-faced man. "Long Kong greets the Prefect!"
What made Ye Xuan's jaw drop was that the Prefect of the Imperial Clan Court, Long Sheshou, who had an unusually high seniority, reacted a little too strongly when he saw Uncle Kong bow to him. Although he only cupped his fists and bowed slightly, his reaction was a little too big.
He actually jumped to the side, as if he didn't dare to accept Uncle Kong's greeting. He even rolled his eyes in anger, "Alright, you're always acting like this. In terms of seniority, this magistrate has to address you as Uncle Kong. What's the point of acting like this? You're scheming against me the moment we meet! Fortunately, I was smart and jumped to avoid it … "
At this moment, not only did Ye Xuan open his mouth wide, but Naples and Xuanyuan Ziying also looked at Uncle Kong with dumbfounded expressions. Even Ying Tai, who was standing to the side with an expressionless face, couldn't help but raise her eyes to take a few more glances at Uncle Kong.
As for the wretched Mosquito Butcher, who was holding a small booklet in his hand and was rushing over from the second courtyard of the manor, after seeing this scene, his eyes darted around, and he swept his gaze over Uncle Kong twice without batting an eyelid. Then, before Uncle Kong subconsciously turned his head to look, he coincidentally shifted his gaze away, and the strange light in his eyes was also restrained, not revealing the slightest bit.
"Master, the roster is here!"
When he came close, the wretched Mosquito Butcher waved the roster in his hand and retreated to the side, no longer saying anything.
Uncle Kong did not pay attention to the words of Long Sheshou of the Imperial Clan Court, as if he did not hear it at all. However, at this time, he glanced at the wretched Mosquito Butcher with a smile that was not a smile.
The latter was a well-behaved person, his eyes lowered, as if he did not feel anything at all, quietly standing to the side.
"Boy, you're also smart. In such a short time, you've already prepared the roster?"
Long Sheshou's gaze swept over Ye Xuan a few times. As he spoke, he raised his hand, and the booklet in the wretched Mosquito Butcher's hand immediately flew into his hand. Without even looking at it, he casually threw it to one of the two experts behind him.
Then, he continued, "If I'm not wrong, those mosquito beasts and Void Swallowing Beasts should all be your pets, right? As for the thousands of demons in the Court, hehe, even the Tian Ji Clan has been brought over by you, and you've also obtained the approval of the State Preceptor. The State Preceptor's order has been bestowed upon you, so what are thousands of demons? With your intelligence, you must have already pointed out their identities in the roster. "
"Not bad, boy, well done!"
As soon as these words were said, the expression on Ye Xuan's face suddenly became strange. Everything was exactly as the other party had said, there was not the slightest difference. Moreover, what shocked him even more was that in such a short time, the other party had already grasped the entire situation of the Eighteenth Prince's Court. The Imperial Clan Court of the Immortal Royal Family was indeed worthy of its reputation.
"As for those wicked slaves outside who have missing arms and legs, humph, not to mention sparing their lives, it's fine even if you kill them. This old man does not dare to say that the Court of the Imperial Clan is in the hands of others, but as long as it is in the hands of this Long Sheshou, no matter who it is, it is impossible for them to use the rules of the Court of the Imperial Clan to do things for them!"
