Those guys in the hall were all well-educated people. They were talkative. They could speak for several hours without a stop. Yet they had lost their voices when it came to speaking against Ye Xiao.
The situation was really hard to handle. It had turned into an awkward and embarrassing situation.
After being quiet for a while, the old man Guan Zhengwen stood up and smiled. He spoke with a deep voice, "I was sitting there to have a word with the Crown Prince. Now that I am finished, I should naturally move aside… Lord Ye, this seat is saved for you. We were all seated early, and there was no other empty seat. I am too old to stand for a long time, so I sat on your seat. You wouldn't mind, would you? Hahahaha…"
An older ginger was spicier [1]. He had quickly managed to turn the situation around.
Ye Xiao laughed and didn't go on dragging the issue. He just sat on the seat provided without any hesitation.
