Kapitel 361: First case as a palace court judge (4)

Immediately behind Yu Gen was an elderly man who looked to be in his sixties. He had white hair that looked to have just been combed roughly. He had on a black robe with white ribbons on the collar and sleeves.

His skin was lustrous and young looking despite his old look, and his eyes were brimming with life and had a blade-like sharpness to them. However, he reigned it when he saw both Yang Qing and Yu Gen look at him.

"Sorry, I do that when I'm afraid and in an unfamiliar place..." the elderly man sheepishly answered at being stared down by the two.

His fists could be seen trembling as he cupped his fists in apology to the duo.

"It's okay.." Yang Qing said as he dryly laughed at his nervous display.

If one looked at the elderly man, one wouldn't think he was a palace stage expert. 

From the descriptions Yu Gen gave him, he inferred that the elderly man was Tang Qi an itinerant cultivator at the early stage of the palace realm.
