WHOOSH!
Realizing his sister might have been fooled, Ji Hao shot to his feet, gathered his men, and charged toward the Celestial Sea King's courtyard.
He intended to intercept Ji Yao and prevent her from meeting Zhong Ming.
...
Ji Yao was completely unaware of her brother's intentions. She had already arrived at the Celestial Sea King's courtyard and barged right in.
Although Shen Wanshang's subordinates were wary, none of them dared to stop her forcibly.
After all, Ji Yao was a Commandery Princess—and the daughter of a Prince who held real power. Unless Shen Wanshang gave a direct order, they wouldn't dare lay a hand on her.
Of course, this was also because Ji Yao was a Commandery Princess and not a Prince's son. If it had been Ji Hao trying to barge in, it wouldn't have been so simple, and the matter certainly wouldn't have ended so easily.
