Chapter 473: 471

"Does it matter to Master Xu whether this prince understands or not? Are you trying to threaten me?" Shangguan Xuanyi swept a cold glance at him.

"I dare not, I just want to express my unwavering loyalty to the Sixth Prince." Xu Zhongtian felt a chill under his gaze, forgetting that people at the apex of the pyramid like them could not tolerate being threatened. Usually, it was they who threatened others.

Shangguan Xuanyi did not reply, only showing a disdainful smile.

It was hard to fathom what he was thinking.

He did not need the loyalty of a corrupt official. That would not help him but harm him instead.

Xu Zhongtian's heart pounded with anxiety.

Just then, the magistrate and the provincial governor of Yunzhou entered the room.

They both respectfully bowed to Shangguan Xuanyi.
