Seeing Elder Master Xiao erupt in anger, not only did Huang Zhuo's face turn ashen, but Liu Si's and Fang Hongxiu's expressions also changed slightly.
Even Xiao Wang, who was sitting calmly to the side, was a little surprised.
He had thought Elder Master Xiao would let the matter pass nonchalantly, as he had before.
He never expected Elder Master Xiao to have such a strong reaction.
Huang Zhuo wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a trembling voice, "Marquis, please calm your anger. I... I failed to investigate this matter clearly. It is my dereliction of duty. I beg your forgiveness."
Hearing this, Elder Master Xiao continued to stare at him and asked, "I ask you, who exactly gave you the nerve?"
"Did the Jing State Liu Family send you?"
"Or was it the Shu State Governor's Office?"
Huang Zhuo hurriedly knelt, his expression changing drastically.
