Xie Jue ignored Fang Chuning and turned to walk back inside. Just as Fang Chuning rushed after him, three Shadow Guards blocked his way as if dropping out of nowhere, lining up neatly in front of him. Xie Jue didn't pause and kept walking.
Growing up as childhood friends with Xie Jue, Fang Chuning had never been treated like this before. He was completely dumbfounded, "What's the meaning of this?"
"Mr. Fang, the master has instructed that you are not allowed to set foot into the Prince Manor. Please don't make this difficult for us," Shadow Guard Ying Er said blankly.
"Ting Feng..." Fang Chuning became anxious and tried to charge forward, but Ying Er quickly drew his sword, pointing it directly at him. These Shadow Guards only listened to Xie Jue's orders; they wouldn't even heed Xie Xun's words. If the order was to keep Fang Chuning out, then he wouldn't be allowed to enter no matter what.
