Zhu Ji was tongue tied and her face changed colour She challenged: “Who do you think you are to talk to me in such a manner?”

In actual fact, Tu Xian is also confident about Xiang Shaolong’s abilities He changed the topic: “After you put Guan Zhongxie down during the hunting fair, Lu Niang Rong has been less affectionate towards hixie are afraid that she will really fall in love with you This lass is very spoilt like Ying Ying and her fe use of her and you may even profit from this relationshi+p”
Xiang Shaolong sighed: “Guan Zhongxie can stoop to such a despicable method but how I can do the same to him?”
His expression turning sole is a true gentleman”
Pausing, he added: “It is a pity that Shaolong has failed to kill Tian Dan this time round Better luck next time”

Although Xiang Shaolong agrees that their concerns are not unfounded, at the saht, in the future, he will never be able to raise his head high up again in front of Lu Buwei and Guan Zhongxie
Motivated by this thought, he was filled with a strong fighting spirit Xiang Shaolong smiled: “No! I in for sure!”
