The spectators under the stage who wanted to see a good play immediately become unhappy. One after another, they yelled at the top of their throats:
“What’s going on? Wasn’t it said there will be a duel to the death? It’s almost time, where is the other person?”
“Exactly ah, we had to arrive early in the morning in order to grab good seats. Do you think it was easy? Are they playing with us?”
“Don’t tell me Su Luo became scared at the last moment and did not dare to come, huh? Hey, this is really too embarrassing, right?”
“If she was afraid, then she shouldn’t have agreed; since she has agreed, she shouldn’t be afraid. The character of Su Manor’s fourth Miss is too lacking, right? No wonder she could do something nauseating like stealing her older sister’s future husband.”
Everyone in the audience were discussing this spiritedly, but Lan Xuan was so anxious his forehead started to give off sweat.
Beichen and Anye were searching for them on the ocean, but his luck wasn’t as good. His assignment was to reverse the direction of the public opinion: to create a fair, auspicious, and peaceful environment in the battle arena for sister-in-law.
His suppression of Su Qing’s stratagems had just started to show some results. Nevertheless, who could have imagined that the time for the duel was quickly approaching, yet sister-in-law still had not arrived.
Public opinion was a small matter, but sister-in-law’s safety was a major concern.
If she had truly met with mishap, very likely a huge problem had occurred on Nangong’s side…… Lan Xuan irritability pulled at his hair. He somewhat worriedly stood up to look in all directions.
“Young master, this……do we still continue?” Lan Xu, Lan Xuan’s loyal and devoted subordinate, respectfully bowed and asked.
Lan Xuan recalled Anye Ming’s instruction from that day: it did not matter if sister-in-law showed up or not, he must continue to reverse the public opinion for her.
Recalling up to that point, Lan Xuan twitchly waved his hand: “Continue.”
