"Old man, one of the two permanent residence spots in Nanhai Stockade has to be mine!"
"Damn it, what a sly fox. What are we in Gu Hei supposed to do then? Should I go ask Lord Kuang for a small courtyard so I can live in Nanhai Stockade permanently too?"
Kuang Nie was thrown into chaos. He couldn't comprehend what Lord Chen Zheng had done yesterday. Why had Nanhai Stockade, a place people once avoided at all costs, suddenly become the center of everyone's attention?
At that moment, Chao Gu and the other two had sensed Chen Zheng's presence through a mysterious insect. Without hesitation, they rushed toward his courtyard.
"Lord Chen Zheng!"
"Chao Gu of the Gu Qing lineage!"
"Shi Xun of the Gu Yun lineage!"
"Qing Pan of the Gu Hei lineage!"
"We humbly request an audience!"
At the doorway, the three of them bowed respectfully, a mixture of nervousness and reverence on their faces, as if terrified that Chen Zheng would refuse their request.
"Please, come in."
