Seeing the guard turn around and sprint away, Jing Yan and Jing Lunnan both smiled without much concern.
Following that, the pair entered the Prince Manor.
"What? Hall Master Jing Yan has arrived?"
"Swoosh!"
Upon hearing the guard's report, Zhou Shangyun's breath hitched, and he then dashed out of the room like an arrow.
A moment later...
"Hall Master Jing Yan?"
"Lanqu County Prince Zhou Shangyun, I have seen Hall Master Jing Yan!" Zhou Shangyun bowed as he greeted.
Even though Zhou Shangyun had a close private relationship with Jing Yan, he was the County Prince of Lanqu, an official figure, while Jing Yan was the Hall Master of the Holy Hall, his superior. Therefore, upon seeing Jing Yan, Zhou Shangyun still needed to bow in respect.
"Prince Zhou Shangyun, are you still coming at me with such formalities?" Jing Yan intentionally glared as he spoke.
"This…" Zhou Shangyun was slightly stunned.
