Prefect Liu and Constable Li, those despicable characters, had likely spoken ill of Lord Shao countless times in front of General Sun and the Sun family. Their demeanor suggested malicious intentions towards Lord Shao…
Shao Yunduan's heart sank at the thought.
The Sun family was already at odds with him. If the envoy this time had truly been a genuine member of the Sun family, Shao Yunduan believed he could persuade them. At the very least, safeguarding Anze Province in the interim wouldn't pose a problem.
Yet, it was the Sun family's guards who arrived.
Confronting the King of Hell was manageable, but contending with the Sun family's authority proved more challenging. He needed only to align himself with the Crown Prince; that alone should suffice to fortify his stance and make a decisive stand.
It didn't add up…
Shao Yunduan inwardly sighed. He needed to compose himself and handle the situation with caution.
