On the stands, Young Master Nan wore a puzzled expression.
Though well-versed in the ways of the sects, he couldn’t make heads or tails of what Shi Chun and his companion were doing in the scene before him.

Weren't they afraid that the Domain Lord of Sheng Prefecture would make them sorry?
Young Master Nan wasn’t the only one bewildered.
