So the man bit his lip and finally knelt down.
"Greetings... Imperial Preceptor."
Wei Tu suddenly laughed and turned to look at the girl beside him.
"Wife, how was your act?"
Su Mi couldn't help but chuckle; he had turned this situation into something like a joyful theatrical performance.
"Not bad, they were all quite professional, and they knelt down very quickly."
Clearly, Su Mi wouldn't offer any pleasantries or act as a peacemaker at this point. Who were they? And who was Wei Tu? She had no reason to remain neutral.
She had witnessed the ferocity of the soldiers when they first entered, and the demeanor of the man who entered later also made her dislike him.
Now that he's kneeling, he deserves it... and it even feels a little bit satisfying.
Now I finally understand why this boy likes to do this kind of thing; it turns out... it really is fun.
The kneeling man's face alternated between red and white; the more fierce he had been just moments before, the more embarrassed he became now.
After finishing all that, Wei Tu picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then looked at the man on the ground.
"So many people have come to see me, you can tell me what's on your mind now."
The man dared not stand up, keeping his head down and suppressing his displeasure, he said, "Of course, it's to welcome the Imperial Advisor..."
"Oh? Really? So many people, such a big commotion, I thought they were here to arrest me."
"How could that be... Grand Preceptor, you flatter me. How can a small number of people demonstrate my master's respect for you?"
"Your master? Oh, who is your master? How did he know I was here?"
The man raised his head, as if he had gained courage by mentioning his homeowner.
"My master is the current ruler of the Shang Dynasty..."
“Tell me your name.”
I got interrupted again! What's wrong with this person? Doesn't he have any patience at all?
But the man dared not disobey. He knew that some things were a battle between gods, and he was ultimately just a helpless nobody who could only survive in the cracks.
So he could only answer.
"Dugu Ming".
"I don't know him, and I'm not familiar with him."
Wei Tu said simply.
The man said in a low voice.
"He is... the brother-in-law of the Great Shang Dynasty."
I initially thought the boy was somewhat agitated, but to my surprise, he didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, as if he was about to fall asleep.
"I'm not familiar with them, so what does it have to do with me?"
So the man lowered his head and could only grit his teeth and whisper.
"Yes... Dugu Xun's father."
Wei Tu let out a long "Oh~" sound.
It seemed to be filled with endless emotions, but not a single positive one. It was as if it were a deliberate mockery, making people feel uncomfortable all over.
Then his tone changed.
"Oh, what does Dugu Xun have to do with me? I don't know him at all."
The man was stunned, never expecting this man to be so shameless as to not even say such a thing.
So cutting off someone's hands or feet only means you're not familiar with them? What counts as being familiar?
Do you want to cut their head off?!
The man knew that the boy was deliberately toying with him.
However, he didn't dare to raise any objections.
I had no choice but to grit my teeth and continue.
"It's like this... My master... knows of your esteemed presence and wishes to invite you to his residence for a chat. My master has long admired you, the Imperial Advisor..."
Wei Tu responded with an "oh".
"What's there for me to talk about with him? I prefer to be straightforward. Why are they doing all this, and with so many people coming? They probably aren't trying to invite me, they're trying to pressure me, aren't they?"
The man's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately said, "That's not the case. My master has prepared fine wine and food, and even arranged accommodations for the Imperial Advisor. This shows my master's sincerity. Please, Imperial Advisor, grant me this honor..."
"Is your face or your master's face?"
Wei Tu suddenly asked.
The man paused, then looked up. The slight arrogance he had shown earlier seemed to vanish completely, replaced by a forced smile.
"Of course it belongs to my master. What face do I, a lowly person, have?"
Wei Tu nodded, but looked at Su Mi.
"What do you think, honey?"
Being addressed as "wife" by the young man in public made the girl a little shy, but she felt immense satisfaction. This recognition of her status was itself a manifestation of a contract, even though the relationship between the two could no longer be described by a contract.
She thought for a moment and looked at Wei Tu, about to say something, when she saw Wei Tu wink at her.
Su Mi immediately understood.
They almost never need to say a word; a single glance is enough to understand each other completely.
So she coughed lightly and said, "Since they've made such a grand entrance... it wouldn't be right to offend them, would it?"
Wei Tu immediately chimed in.
"Since my wife has spoken..."
The man on the ground immediately understood and quickly got up.
"Make way! Make way for the Imperial Advisor!"
The man led Wei Tu and Su Mi downstairs. As soon as Wei Tu went down, she saw the streets filled with soldiers, so many that they almost blocked the entire street.
He laughed.
"There are so many people. If I don't go, will they all rush in and carry me away?"
The man laughed awkwardly, "Of course not..."
Then, pointing to a luxurious carriage, he said, "Please, both of you, get in the carriage; the journey is a bit long."
Wei Tu did not get into the carriage, but looked at Su Mi and said, "This carriage is great in every way, except... it's too high. I have difficulty walking and can't get in. What should I do?"
Su Mi then understood and nodded in agreement, "Yeah...it's so high, and there's nothing to stand on..."
The man next to him immediately understood what the two were saying in a sarcastic tone and pointed at the coachman beside him.
"Come here! Kneel here so that the Imperial Advisor and his wife can get into the carriage!"
The coachman rushed over and immediately knelt down.
However, Wei Tu still didn't get on the car. Instead, he shook his head and looked at Su Mi first.
"Oh... he's too thin, he might fall."
Then she slowly looked at the man and said, "Do you have any broad shoulders and a wide back... Hey, young man, you're in good shape. You must exercise often, right?"
The man stared at Wei Tu in disbelief.
This bastard couldn't possibly be...
Fuck!
He had already understood Wei Tu's meaning, even if he was unwilling...
"Then... I'll stand on your feet for you two, please... don't find it offensive!"
Wei Tu was still holding him back, looking 'reluctant'. "Ugh, this is too much trouble, it's so humiliating. Maybe I should just try to climb up?"
The man was certainly not naive enough to believe that the other party had really given up the idea.
Instead, he put on a fawning smile, immediately knelt beside the carriage, and said to Wei Tu, "Please don't find this offensive, Grand Preceptor. This is what we servants should do..."
Wei Tu sighed.
"Oh, I hadn't thought of it that way, but you know... well, I can't refuse such kindness..."
After saying that, Wei Tu took Su Mi's hand and stepped on it first.
The first kick almost made the man vomit blood.
How can this seemingly thin boy be so heavy?!
They also heard Wei Tu muttering to himself, "I ate a bit too much earlier, am I alright?"
The man forced a smile, "Of course... Your Excellency is so agile, it makes me very worried about your health. Please eat more."
In my mind, I was cursing: "Fuck you! Did you eat a whole cow this morning?! How can you be so heavy?!" PS: The bad news is that only three Chinese teams are left. The good news is that Team Aster and Team Elephant aren't in the next game. I'm really disgusted. I'll just stick to being my LXO.

The luxurious carriage swayed and rocked, like a domineering crab rampaging through the streets.
Anyone with eyes and ears could not possibly be around this carriage. Seeing so many soldiers in such a grand display, one could understand that the people inside the carriage were not just ordinary people of noble status.
Su Mi sat next to Wei Tu, occasionally lifting the curtain to peek at the scene outside.
He whispered to the boy, "How could you dare get on any carriage? What if someone..."
Wei Tu looked at Su Mi with a smile, his expression seemingly nonchalant and carefree.
This man's expression is truly unbelievable. You have no idea what he's afraid of, or if he's genuinely nervous. In short, he's unpredictable and makes you wonder.
The boy also had the same temperament and expression at this moment.
