Listening to the Emperor's roar, Xu Luo flinched. He was about to obey and get lost when someone came to make a report.
"The Eldest Prince, Xu Jie, Sui Yan, and Liu Feng… they are kneeling outside the Imperial Palace, wishing to plead for Xu Luo!"
"Have them get in here!" Huangfu Haoran said irritably.
Soon after, the gentle and refined Eldest Prince, the dark-skinned Xu Jie, the expressionless Sui Yan, and the sly-looking fatty, Liu Feng, walked into the Golden Hall from outside.
They advanced together and paid their respects to the Emperor.
"I hear you've come to plead for Xu Luo?" the Emperor asked coolly, his face calm as he looked down at the four young men.
Xu Luo frantically signaled to Huangfu Chongzhi and the others with his eyes. 'My dear brothers,' he thought, 'this matter is already settled! Don't stir up any more trouble.'
