Xu Qing stopped walking and looked over to see Kong Xianglong standing there with his head bowed.5

The palace lord stood in front of him, his expression stern as he berated Kong Xianglong coldly.0

“Other people might think you’re spectacular and amazing, but the fact remains that you don’t respect our swordsage rules. How many times have you been late or absent from work because you were off taking care of personal matters? If you keep doing this, then eventually you’re going to get yourself in really big trouble. Understand?”0

This time, the palace lord didn’t just seem like he was being strict. He actually seemed angry.0

“The Swordsage Palace doesn’t raise greenhouse flowers. And we don’t need people who ignore the rules. Do you really think that just because you’re clever, you have the right to go around breaking the law all the time...?”0

Xu Qing realized what was happening. Kong Xianglong must have brought some criminals to hand over for incarceration, only to have the palace lord find out he had been acting for personal reasons. It looked to Xu Qing like Kong Xianglong was probably going to have to spend some more time behind bars.0

Why’s the palace lord always giving Big Bro Kong such a hard time?28

Xu Qing was a bit surprised at this turn of events, but at the same time, could tell that the palace lord was obviously in a foul mood, so he ducked...3
