191. Pomelo

The Azure Dragon Festival was akin to an "annual work meeting."

Such an important event, and the most prominent figure of Jinmen was absent, causing immediate speculation.

Jiang Haiyan, dressed in a neat martial arts outfit, leisurely stepped onto the stage and greeted the high officials with a fist salute,

"My father is ill and needs to rest quietly for some days, so I will attend in his place. I hope the esteemed officials will be understanding!"

"Illness…"

At this statement, everyone was somewhat speechless.

How could a Great Grandmaster of the Golden Body Realm, who could withstand cannon fire with his body, be ill, sick!?

But everyone present was shrewd and quickly understood what was going on.

The Governor of Two Rivers had just rebelled, and the court was in dire need of loyalists.

At this time, the Jinmen Governor claiming "illness" clearly indicated his stance—standing by and watching!
