Chapter 1157: Confrontation and Lamentation
Someone shouted from outside. “We’re from the Daoist Mansion, and we have a case to question Wang Jiaoyan about. Open the door at once! Otherwise, we’re coming in!”
Immediately after, the knocking grew heavier and more violent.
The butler looked at Wang Jiaoyan nervously and asked, “Ma’am, what should we do...?”
Wang Jiaoyan tried her best to suppress the fear in her heart and lifted the lidded teacup from the small side table, but her hand still trembled, and her tea spilled.
The butler lowered his voice to a whisper. “Ma’am, perhaps you should leave through the back door...”
“What are you saying?!” Wang Jiaoyan’s gaze turned chilling.
The butler hastily lowered his head, not daring to say another word.
Wang Jiaoyan looked away. “I’ll go meet them myself. I’d like to see whether they truly dare to arrest me on my turf!”
Before she completed her sentence, the main gate came crashing down.
The Spirit Guards swarmed in and immediately spread out, taking positions throughout the compound.
Zhang Yuelu entered last, bypassing the screen wall and walking straight to the front of the main hall before halting.
Wang Jiaoyan slowly stepped out of the main hall and stood on the steps, staring at Zhang Yuelu from a distance.
