131: Many tokens, hard background
“You...”
Situ Hao’s expression darkened, and he immediately reached out and grabbed the token.
He said coldly, “Attacking The Holy Courtyard's Disciples on the Holy Courtyard’s grounds is an aggravated offense.”
“Hmm? This Prince’s token…”
But when he saw the token in his hand clearly, he raised an eyebrow.
He guessed that Xie Weilou had come with someone, but he hadn't expected it to be This Prince.
However, it seemed normal. Xie Weilou was close to This Prince. Since Three Sages was lecturing today, This Prince would definitely not miss it, so bringing Xie Weilou here didn't seem to be a problem.
Xie Weilou looked at Situ Hao with a wide smile: “This Young Master came with This Prince, do you dare to stop me?”
At this moment, it was as if he was borrowing the tiger's prestige.
But if he could borrow the tiger's prestige, why would he need to exert effort?
“You…”
Situ Hao’s expression was somewhat gloomy.
If Xie Weilou had come with an ordinary disciple, he might not have cared.
But coming with This Prince, that was troublesome. He naturally wouldn't dare to act recklessly; he still had to give This Prince face.
The surrounding The Holy Courtyard's Disciples also felt their hearts tighten and dared not say anything more.
In this Holy Courtyard, ordinary backgrounds were useless, but no one dared to underestimate those princes and princesses in the slightest.
Xie Weilou stepped forward and directly pulled the token from Situ Hao’s hand, saying with a faint smile, “This Young Master doesn’t have much ability, but my background is very strong. So, grandsons of dukes, sons of ministers, don’t come to provoke me, or I’ll smash your teeth out.”
“…”
Situ Hao clenched his fists. He truly couldn't stand Xie Weilou’s smug expression, like a villain who had gotten his way. He really wanted to slap his face hard, but he truly didn't dare to make a move.
“Your background is very strong? But this is the Holy Courtyard.”
A cold voice sounded. A group of The Holy Courtyard's Disciples dressed in Law Enforcement Hall uniforms flew over. Leading them was a man with a sinister face.
“People from the Law Enforcement Hall.”
Situ Hao smiled broadly. He quickly bowed to the sinister-faced man, saying, “Greetings, Brother Wang Yi!”
Wang Yi, the eldest son of the Minister of Rites, a disciple of the Holy Courtyard’s Law Enforcement Hall. The Holy Courtyard’s Law Enforcement Hall was extraordinary and held immense power. If anyone dared to cause trouble in the Holy Courtyard and fell into the hands of the Law Enforcement Hall, their fate would surely be miserable.
The Holy Courtyard's Disciples were all extremely wary of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Wang Yi ignored Situ Hao and looked at Xie Weilou indifferently: “You came with This Prince? So what? You are not a Holy Courtyard disciple, yet you brazenly entered the Holy Courtyard. Today, I must take you to the Law Enforcement Hall for a visit.”
Situ Hao and others might have to give This Prince face, but he didn't need to, because the Ministry of Rites did not belong to This Prince's faction.
“Oh? What if This Young Master doesn’t go to that Law Enforcement Hall?”
Xie Weilou’s smile was mocking.
“If you don’t go? Then I’ll have to do it myself.”
Wang Yi’s tone was sinister. Who dared to disobey when the Law Enforcement Hall was acting? If one didn't cooperate, then they would be beaten first.
“Young Lord Xie is new to the Holy Courtyard, and he came with This Prince. He hasn’t caused any trouble in the Holy Courtyard, so why is Brother Wang Yi being so insistent?”
A clear, cold voice sounded. Su Muxue flew over. She glanced at Xie Weilou, and a strange look appeared in the depths of her eyes.
Wang Yi glanced at Su Muxue and frowned slightly: “Sister Su, are you trying to protect Xie Weilou? Don’t forget, you personally went to Zhenxi Marquis Manor to annul the engagement three years ago. You have no relationship with him.”
Su Muxue’s expression was a little unnatural, but she still said, “Mu Xue just wants to say that the Law Enforcement Hall doesn’t have absolute power.”
“Hmph!”
Wang Yi snorted coldly: “Sister Su has just arrived at the Holy Courtyard and doesn’t understand the Holy Courtyard’s rules, which I can understand. However, when my Law Enforcement Hall handles matters, it’s not your place to dictate.”
After speaking, he conjured a golden enforcement rod and walked directly towards Xie Weilou.
“You…”
Su Muxue raised an eyebrow.
“Xie Weilou, do you have anything else to say?”
Wang Yi looked at Xie Weilou coldly.
Xie Weilou smiled indifferently and casually took out another token: “There’s nothing to say, just that I have many tokens and a strong background!”
“Hmm?”
When Wang Yi saw the token in Xie Weilou’s hand, his expression froze, and his eyes showed disbelief.
This…
Is this Lord Song’s token?
Why would Lord Song’s token be in Xie Weilou’s hand?
“It’s Lord Song’s token.”
The people of the Law Enforcement Hall felt their hearts tighten. Their gazes towards Xie Weilou were filled with uncertainty and surprise. Song Shenfeng held a transcendent position in the Holy Courtyard and was an absolute ruthless person whom no one dared to provoke.
Even the Head of the Law Enforcement Hall had to respectfully call him Brother Song in front of Song Shenfeng.
The problem arose.
Why was Song Shenfeng’s token in Xie Weilou’s hand?
“…”
Su Muxue also looked at Xie Weilou with a face full of surprise.
Did the Holy Courtyard’s powerhouses discover Xie Weilou’s extraordinariness? Did they actively send him a token, wanting him to become a Holy Courtyard disciple?
Wang Yi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “Why is Lord Song’s token in your hand?”
Xie Weilou said nonchalantly, “I just happened to meet him, and he gave This Young Master a token. Is there a problem?”
He toyed with the token, looked in a certain direction, and said, “Song Senior, it seems your token is useless! I’ve already taken it out, yet there are still people blocking the way? Why don’t you come out for a bit?”
“…”
Wang Yi and the others’ expressions changed drastically, and they quickly made way.
“Now that’s more like it! What’s your status, and what’s This Young Master’s background? How dare you block me?”
Xie Weilou smiled broadly as he put away the token.
He then looked at Wang Yi and said, “In the Holy Courtyard, the Law Enforcement Hall is indeed not simple, but This Young Master also has some background outside. Your surname is Wang, so you should have some connection with the Minister of Rites. I’ll make a trip to your house sometime and see if your old man has been involved in corruption. If he has, I’ll certainly send him to my Tianquan Division for a strong cup of tea.”
“Xie Weilou… how dare you…”
Wang Yi’s expression changed. He had been so busy being aggressive that he forgot Xie Weilou’s identity in the Tianquan Division.
The Law Enforcement Hall could be aggressive in the Holy Courtyard, but outside the Holy Courtyard, it was completely useless. If the Tianquan Division wanted to investigate the Ministry of Rites, who would dare to stop them, besides the one in the imperial palace?
Xie Weilou smiled and said, “Then you’ll see if This Young Master dares. A bunch of ignorant fools, you dare to block This Young Master’s path? You like to cause trouble for no reason? In that case, This Young Master will see if your Holy Courtyard background can affect the Tianquan Division’s investigation of your family!”
Arrogant? Presumptuous? Provocative?
I’m a scoundrel, who am I afraid of?
“…”
Everyone present’s expressions changed drastically, especially Situ Hao and Wang Yi, whose moods were even more solemn.
Xie Weilou had This Prince’s and Song Shenfeng’s tokens, so they naturally dared not act recklessly.
If the other party used his Tianquan Division identity to investigate their families outside, they couldn’t interfere.
This was troublesome!
They shouldn't have provoked this plague god.
“…”
Xie Weilou ignored everyone and walked forward with a smile.
“Brother Xie, please wait a moment!”
Just then, a voice sounded, and Yan Junlin flew over.
“Greetings, This Prince.”
When everyone saw Yan Junlin, they quickly bowed.
Yan Junlin ignored everyone. He came to Xie Weilou’s side and said in a deep voice, “Brother Xie, I’m truly sorry. I only left for a moment, and I didn’t expect these ignorant fools to dare to provoke you. This is completely disrespectful to me.”
Xie Weilou shrugged and said, “No choice, your token is useless…”
“Brother Xie, rest assured! This Prince will definitely get justice for you, and also save face for myself.”
Yan Junlin’s expression was somewhat gloomy. He looked coldly at Wang Yi and the others and said, “Is This Prince’s token useless? If so, then I’ll show you whether This Prince is useful!”
After speaking, he instantly lunged at Wang Yi and slapped him.
“Yan Junlin, how dare you…”
Wang Yi’s expression changed drastically, and he immediately retaliated.
Boom!
However, he was sent flying over ten meters by Yan Junlin’s slap, his body crashing into a pillar, and a mouthful of fresh blood immediately spurted out.
“Ignorant fool! Is This Prince’s name something trash like you can call out directly?”
Yan Junlin’s eyes were fierce. He took a step, suddenly appearing in front of Wang Yi, and kicked towards Wang Yi’s head…
