Cao Tianyi's side responded quickly. A few hours after he left, the young Reconnoitre returned with more men.
There weren't many of them—only five, including the young Reconnoitre.
The other four men all exuded a fierce aura. Their gazes were sharp and hostile as they stared at Xu Luo and Xu Jie, clearly displeased with the two of them, and even more so with their current assignment.
"Young Masters Xu, my General invites you," the young Reconnoitre said to Xu Luo and Xu Jie, his expression calm.
"Very well. Lead the way," Xu Luo said lightly.
"Are you Xu Ji's son? Or Xu Zhongtian's?" a man in his mid-thirties standing behind the Reconnoitre asked Xu Luo coldly.
"And who are you?" Xu Luo said, raising an eyebrow. "Regardless of which General Xu you mean, a person of your station has no right to speak their names so casually. I imagine that even General Cao Tianyi himself would show my father and Uncle Xu Zhongtian the proper respect by addressing them as 'General Xu'."
