The martial practitioners from the adjacent chamber stepped forward, waving a command token from Wan Weihou, right as Ye Liuyun was about to flee.
"By the order of Wan Weihou, the Hong Kun incident is purely a personal vendetta. Local garrison guards are forbidden to intervene! Withdraw at once!"
The troops dispatched to capture Ye Liuyun had no choice but to obey Wan Weihou's order and report back to Mu Yuantang.
Though seething with anger, Mu Yuantang couldn’t openly defy Wan Weihou without consequences. He had no choice but to bide his time for another opportunity.
Ye Liuyun and the Songstress asked the neighbouring room's martial practitioners to convey their gratitude to Wan Weihou on their behalf.
However, the incident served as a warning to Wan Weihou. First, Ye Liuyun and his supposed sister had offended Hong Kun, and now they’d somehow provoked Mu Yuantang. Intrigued, he demanded answers.
