A Slap in the Face

"I came back yesterday." Leonard realized that the other party seemed too calm. As he walked in, he tentatively asked the old man, "Elder Xue, have you heard any rumors recently?"

People greeted them along the way. They looked straight ahead and walked side by side.

Not getting a reply, Leonard deliberately dragged out his tone. "I heard that the Ji family's direct descendant has a dirty background."

The silver-haired old man was the first to arrive. Hearing this, he stopped and looked at him with a faint smile. He rolled up his sleeves and casually said, "Is that so? Why did I hear a different version? The version I heard was that the person recommended by the Empress has a bad reputation in the independent continent and did many shameful things."

He even deliberately asked, "Elder Leo just came back from the independent continent. Haven't you heard of this?"
