Sure enough, Wan Dulong immediately showed anger upon hearing it.
Which little fellow dares to be so insolent?
He glanced at Li Chaoxuan, and his face brightened considerably.
At least you know how to handle things.
"Come in," he said, already abandoning his accusatory posture.
Li Chaoxuan accompanied Wan Dulong inside, offered him fragrant tea, dismissed the others, and began to speak without waiting for Wan Dulong to ask questions, naturally putting all the blame on Shi Hao.
—This child, relying on his beast taming talent and possessing a powerful monster, became arrogant and volunteered to check the accounts, aiming to showcase his abilities and gain recognition from higher-ups.
After listening, Wan Dulong's face turned grim.
Good boy, you want to climb up, but you actually plan to use the old man as a stepping stone?
Courting death!
He laughed coldly inside, dealing with a third-tier palace disciple was easy as pie for him.
