The Lifire Empyrean's gaze stiffened. For a moment, he didn't know how he should reply.
Qin Wentian's situation was really extremely complex, but it was impossible for him to explain it for all to hear now out in the public. He could only reply, "Your subordinate doesn't dare. It's just that Lifire City needed someone to be in charge since I'm temporarily gone from there. Hence, this subordinate commanded Governor Qin to take over to prevent chaos from reigning supreme."
"Oh?" The Lifelong Realmlord calmly spoke. The Lifire Empyrean even dared to give him such a lousy excuse?
A look of difficulty could be seen on the Lifire Empyrean's face. But at this moment, Qin Wentian stood up and bowed to the Lifelong Realmlord. "This matter has nothing to do with palace lord. It's just because my identity is sensitive which led to palace lord making such an arrangement. I humbly beg Realmlord for a pardon."
