The man wasn't scared off by Gu Chengyu's coldness. What he'd just said was just an opening line. Since everyone was unfamiliar with one another, they had to find a topic, didn't they?
"I am heading to Yingnan Mansion in Jiangnan. I wonder if Young Master's destination is the same as mine?"
"So you gentlemen are going to Yingnan Mansion. That's rather unfortunate then, for our destinations are not the same."
In fact, to get to Changtian Prefecture and Hangtian Prefecture, one had to pass through Yingnan Mansion first.
The final destination of these four was likely not Yingnan Mansion either, but if the leader put it that way, wouldn't that allow them to share the road with Gu Chengyu and his party?
No matter where they claimed to be going, they had to end up on the same road.
