Chapter 734: Chapter 714: Tricky (Second Update)

Seeing a frown form on Ye Xiang's forehead, the Nanchu King couldn't help but feel a little guilty toward his old friend, but he didn't want to face his daughter's disapproving gaze again. Furthermore, with Master Xie present, he couldn't let himself appear unimportant and disgraceful.

Su Rong, his out-spoken daughter, didn't give him any room to hide. "Father, you blame everything on Ye Xiang, how could you? You're the King of Nanchu," she pointed out, seeing no need to spare her father's dignity.

The Nanchu King: "..."

Alas, could they not leave him some dignity?

He cleared his throat and said in a low voice, "Well, it's lunchtime now. Man cannot survive on iron alone. After lunch, I'll discuss things with you all."

He had never been so proactive before, going through two days' worth of reports in less than half a day, rushing over to join his daughter for lunch.
