”Hmph, you were sent by Su Bai? Bastard thing, since he sent you over, he must not be far. Su Bai, you son of a bitch, show your face!”
Wei Hao angrily snorted, his wolfish gaze sweeping over the crowd. He had no reason to be polite toward Su Bai. If that fellow dared to send people over to make trouble, he was under no obligation to treat him kindly.
”Don't go spouting off any nonsense here. Our young master didn't even come. Besides, the one who invited us was your good brother Wang Chong. It has nothing to do with us!” the Duke Su guard sneered back.
The order he had received was to do his utmost to ruin this venture of Wang Chong's, no matter what it was. However, even if he hadn't received this order, Duke Su had intended for him to come and see what exactly was going on.
Alas, in Su Bai's hands, these orders became ones of selfish mischief, demanding that he ruin Wang Chong's venture at any price.
”Wang Chong, Su Bai can't have had any good intentions by sending over this son of a bitch. Just give the word and I'll help you kick him out!”
Wei Hao was foaming in rage as he pressed out of the crowd and to Wang Chong's side.
As a brother who had basically grown up together with Wang Chong, he had a good grasp of the Wang Clan Residence, but Wei Hao still understood whose home this actually was.
This gathering had been called by Wang Chong, so on this formal occasion, only Wang Chong could decide how to deal with the unwelcome and troublemakers.
”It's fine.”
With a grin, Wang Chong pulled on the fuming Wei Hao.
”Cool down a little. I was the one who invited Duke Su's people.”
”What?!”
The raging Wei Hao was dumbfounded by these words, his face frozen in shock. He had been under the impression that Su Bai had sent people purely to make trouble.
He didn't think that Wang Chong had specifically invited them.
”Haven't you always been at odds with him? Why did you suddenly invite him?”
Wei Hao had an incredulous look, taken completely aback by the truth.
”Haha, in a little while, I'll tell you.”
Wang Chong smiled but did not explain any further.
The matter of the southwest involved enemies of the country while the matter between the Wang Clan and the Su Clan was just a private grudge, and what did a private grudge matter in comparison to what was about to happen in the southwest?
As long as it was of benefit to his current task, as long as it could help the empire and its millions of inhabitants confront this great peril and get through this storm, nothing else was important to Wang Chong.
”Hmph, Wang Chong, don't pay attention to this bastard. Isn't it just ten-some True Martial realm experts? Not only does my Bai Clan have them, it has plenty!”
A voice piped up from the crowd as Bai Siling strode out of the crowd, simultaneously heroic and charming, her head held high.
As she walked over to Wang Chong, she also blinked her eyelashes at him as if communicating some profound meaning.
Wei Hao leaned close to Wang Chong and whispered to him, ”We had originally wanted to come and find you, but you happened to be sleeping. Bai Siling also said that there were certain to be troublemakers among all these people you invited, so she recommended that we not rush out to meet you and mix in with the crowd first.”
Although he hadn't spent much time in the training camp, he had met the people at Wang Chong's side quite a few times, so he knew the Bai Clan's Bai Siling, who had made her name off her intelligence and cunning.
”Haha, if Young Master Wang needs, you can also count on our Xu Clan!”
On the other side, Xu Gan coordinated with Bai Siling and also walked out of the crowd. He wasn't as bombastic as Bai Siling, but it was enough for him to coordinate with her.
”Haha, then count us in too!”
Like a fiery cloud, the red-dressed Zhao Yatong, a dot of red on her brow, promptly drifted out of the crowd, bewitchingly beautiful.
Buzz!
Both the Xu Clan and the Zhao Clan were very influential clans in the capital, and Bai Siling's Bai Clan ranked amongst the oldest, its influence on par with the Wang Clan's.
These three people stepping forth caused the crowd to buzz with chatter. From the restlessness of the crowd, it was clear that no one had expected this sight.
The great clans always had reasons for their actions. If there were no benefit to them, they would not have done this. To many clans, whenever they were hesitating, they would just need to look at those most influential clans to know what to do.
And there was no question that the support of Bai Siling, Zhao Yatong, and Xu Gan had greatly affected the crowd.
The somewhat minor clans seemed about to act.
