Once Xu Shi Ji narrowed his eyes to give the signal, Chen Chang Sheng’s neck will be chopped off by the swift knife.
But this bloody scene didn’t happen because when Xu Shi Ji was thinking of giving out the signal, two cold looks fell on his body. One came from the Bishop of the Department of Traditional Education who always closed his eyes. He seemed to be a sleepy elder but he had wise words to say at key moments and simply opening up his eyes which was an extremely simple action, faster than raising a hand and taking out knife, was enough to dissuade further action. Another look, came from an unexpected person – Mo Yu. Xu Shi Ji’s emotion was changing, after all, he did not do anything. If it was only a warning from the Bishop, he probably would still make an attempt, but Mo Yu’s look made it very difficult to decide.
The temperament in the palace was extremely tense now and also extremely embarrassing. The palace was extremely quiet. After Tang Thirty Six spoke those words, he angered the Southerners but they didn’t know how to reply. At this moment, a voice came up from somewhere in the seats at the end of the banquet.
“”Of course we should respect the elders’ will, but…..the connection through marriage between the South and North is such a significant move. In order to fight against the demons, it’s definitely fine for individuals to make a sacrifice.”
