Chapter 490 - 136: The Path of Balance! Tearing Off the Mask_4
"What His Majesty said is very true, only that the one you’re referring to is my adopted son. Though they acted in such a manner to show off, I am indeed unable to shirk my responsibilities!"
"If His Majesty wishes to punish, then punish me, your servant!"
He spoke sincerely.
To an outsider, it might truly seem like Wei Hongfang is willing to take the punishment for his two adopted sons.
But none of those present were fools; they naturally heard how Wei Hongfang spoke.
On the contrary, he placed all the blame on his two adopted sons, making it seem like it had nothing to do with him!
"Hahaha!"
Perhaps it’s the first time encountering such a situation.
Unable to hold back, Yan Fuhai burst into laughter.
"Your Majesty?"
Having prepared himself for a counter, Yan Fuhai unexpectedly burst out laughing.
Looking at this laughing Yan Fuhai, Wei Hongfang was momentarily bewildered.
"There’s no need for punishment. After all, your two adopted sons won the duel, which has brought glory to our Great Qian Dynasty. What is there to punish?"
"Won the duel?"
This response.
Left Wei Hongfang even more bewildered than he was earlier.
What does this mean?
Yun Hu and Guan Bao actually defeated the Grandmaster who came to challenge?
How is this possible!
Wei Hongfang knows his adopted sons well; although they have some talent, they are ultimately cowardly and greedy. He knew early on their true intentions of acknowledging him as their father.
If they really had the ability to fight across realms and defeat a Grandmaster,
Would they still need to acknowledge him as their foster father?
"Haha! Just in time, I have also summoned your two adopted sons here. If there’s anything, you may as well speak face-to-face!"
As he spoke,
Yan Fuhai gestured to the eunuch beside him.
"???"
Originally bewildered, Wei Hongfang immediately reacted upon hearing this.
He glanced over.
Sure enough, outside the chamber doors, Yun Hu and Guan Bao strode in!
"Commoners pay respect to the Emperor!"
As if they didn’t see Wei Hongfang, the two simultaneously saluted Yan Fuhai.
Although Yan Fuhai’s current status is not the Emperor of Great Qian Dynasty, no one present found this address strange.
Their attitude made Wei Hongfang slightly annoyed.
He’s not a fool.
Naturally, he could guess it was because of what he just said that these two had heard, dissatisfied with him.
But so what if they heard it?
"Did you two really defeat a Grandmaster?"
Wei Hongfang still couldn’t quite believe it.
"You..."
Originally outside the chamber, upon hearing Wei Hongfang shift all blame onto them,
Guan Bao was already quite frustrated.
Now, upon hearing this doubtful tone, Guan Bao immediately wanted to say something.
However, luckily, Yun Hu was more composed and immediately raised his hand to restrain Guan Bao’s impulse.
After all, Yan Fuhai was still here. It was their first time seeing Yan Fuhai, and they didn’t want to lose face.
"Defeating the Grandmaster was merely by chance, but His Majesty has already spoken about it. Adoptive father has doubts; are you questioning what His Majesty said?"
"You!"
Indeed unexpected.
To find oneself cornered by adopted sons he hadn’t taken seriously.
"Your Majesty, your servant absolutely has no intention of questioning His Majesty’s words!"
Before he could say anything to Yun Hu, Wei Hongfang hurriedly turned his head, his eyes filled with dread, looking at Yan Fuhai!
"Alright! Alright!"
Yan Fuhai was not foolish; how could he punish Wei Hongfang over such trivial matters?
On the contrary,
Yan Fuhai found it rather amusing.
These two brothers had decent strength and composure, plus there was some tension between them and Wei Hongfang—using them to balance Wei Hongfang was quite advantageous!
