They began to mention the rules while Qie Xieling and his entourage left. Qie Xieling wanted to tear apart the entire city looking for his husband who left him pregnant and moody.
Master Zi straightened his back when he saw Qie Xieling leave. He turned to look at the elders with a hint of smugness. He understood their policy very well. If it weren't for this policy would his father have succeeded in removing the King? Qie Xieling walking away from the competition meant he was weak and wouldn't get their support but Elder Xuan didn't even show any sign of displeasure.
What he didn't know was that the elders of the mercenary clans were looking for the culprit who made their King pregnant and deserted him. They needed a private word with him.
