292 The Moderator Has Free Reign

Hearing what Feng Xia said, the guards in front of the palace all shook their heads.

The same thought appeared in all their minds.

“This old fisherman is too old and has gone stupid!”

What kind of place was the royal pond?

It was the lotus pond in the emperor’s imperial garden!

What kind of audacious fellow would dare to publicly say that he wanted to fish at the royal pond and even say that he wanted to eat the fish in the pond?

Those were His Majesty’s playthings. When did they become your food?

“Fisherman, don’t push your luck.”

The face of the guard who had spoken earlier fell slightly. “Although His Majesty is an approachable person, this is not a reason for you to be impudent. If you leave now, we can pretend that nothing happened!”

A trace of regret appeared on Feng Xia’s face. “Can’t you make an exception? As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people. To me, this is a top priority!”

Since it is a top priority, then you should go and find a restaurant!

Why will you swagger to the entrance of the palace and say that you want to eat the emperor’s fish?

The few guards felt exceptionally speechless. In the years they had been imperial guards, they had seen many pricks. They had encountered at least tens, if not hundreds, of people who wanted to use their connections to sneak into the palace.

However, this was the first time they had seen someone like Feng Xia!

Thinking of this, they sized up the elderly angler in front of them again. For a moment, they could not help but suspect that this old man had gone mad from cultivating, and that was why he suddenly came to the palace to have fun.

Then again, even if they wanted to make an exception, it was actually impossible.

Every corner of the palace was protected by an array formation. Unless the formation allowed entry, it was extremely difficult for outsiders to force their way in.

Even if they made way for Feng Xia, he would also be blocked by the protective array formation.

If they wanted to let someone through, they had to report the matter to the higher-ups first. The guards could only let the person pass only after their superior confirmed it and left a corresponding mark in the palace’s array formation.

How were they supposed to report this current issue to the higher-ups?

A crazy old man wants to eat His Majesty’s fish. Sir, can you make an exception?

The guy who reported it would probably be treated as a fool as well!

“It’s said that Lingyun Kingdom is a warm and hospitable place. You don’t have to worry too much. You just have to put up my request. If the supervisor doesn’t allow it, I’ll turn around and leave without saying anything.”

At this moment, Feng Xia’s eyes flickered slightly as he said with a faint smile.

So you know that this kind of request needs to go through the supervisor?

One of the guards sighed and looked at the sincere look in Feng Xia’s eyes. He hesitated for a long time and finally nodded lightly. “Fisherman, you must remember what you said. If the supervisor doesn’t allow it, you must turn around and leave immediately. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being ruthless!”

“Sigh, you’re just too soft-hearted. It’s just a crazy old man. Do you really want to alarm the supervisor?” Another guard could not help but sneer.

“In my opinion, we should just chase him away. The palace is an important place. How can we allow him to behave atrociously here?”

The other guards shook their heads.

The young guard hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and saying, “It’s just asking a question. It won’t be too late to chase him away after that!”

“Alright, if the supervisor lets him in, we’ll buy you drinks for a month! If the supervisor says no, you’ll have to treat us for a month!” The other guards laughed.

The young guard agreed and an exquisite compass appeared in his hand.

He injected a trace of magical power into the compass and quickly contacted someone in the palace.

“Supervisor Luo, it’s like this…”

The young guard spoke carefully and quickly described the whole story.

The other guards beside him stood there casually. How could such an unreasonable request be approved by Supervisor Luo?

They could predict with certainty that this kid would lose a month’s worth of drinks to them!

“Back to the topic. This old man’s cultivation doesn’t seem to be very strong. Why is he still standing here? Doesn’t he know that he should run away quickly?”

A few glanced at Feng Xia strangely.

Since this old man knew about the existence of the supervisor, then by right he should also know very well that once Supervisor Luo was enraged, he would no longer be just termed as an ‘unauthorized person’.

Perhaps in a few moments, he would become a “suspicious person” and be hunted down by the entire city!

If he was not a suspicious person, why did he put in so much effort to sneak into the palace?

“What a pity.”

Feng Xia took in their reactions and shook his head calmly. “You’ve thought of everything except one…”

Almost at this moment, a shocked expression suddenly appeared on the young guard’s face, and he cried out involuntarily, “S-Supervisor Luo, what did you just say… we can let him in? But this elderly angler, he… Oh oh oh, I get it, we’ll let him in right now!”

He seemed to have been reprimanded by that person. His face turned red at first, then he hurriedly nodded and bowed. Finally, he put away the compass and looked at Feng Xia strangely.

“The supervisor said… you can go in now.”

“What?”

“You have to understand that letting someone into the palace without permission is a serious crime!”

“Kid, are you crazy?!”

“But.”

The young guard immediately argued, “Supervisor Luo personally…”

“Alright, since your supervisor has agreed, I won’t stand on ceremony tonight.”

At this moment, Feng Xia, who was dressed in a straw raincoat, shook the fish basket on his shoulder and quietly walked towards the main entrance of the palace.

The group of guards instinctively shouted, “Stop! Don’t continue forward!”

Swoosh—

Their visions suddenly blurred.

Then, they saw that the mysterious elderly angler had somehow passed through their obstruction and stepped into the palace vicinity!

It was quiet in all directions.

Even when Feng Xia’s figure disappeared into the distance, the grand array formation of the palace did not get activated.

“He actually didn’t trigger the array formation. In that case, he has indeed obtained Supervisor Luo’s approval…”

“I understand the logic, but… why?”

They simply could not understand why Supervisor Luo, who was known for his strictness, would let an unknown fisherman swagger into the palace like that.

“Because…”

Feng Xia, who was walking in front, smiled smugly.

“Supervisor Luo was promoted to his position by the First Prince.”
