706 Conflicts within Blizzard Silver City (1/2)
Behind the three were Xiao Tian Ya, Hua Feng Wen, and Qu Wu Qing! The three of them didn't look much different from the last encounter except for the mostly inconspicuous anger and helplessness on their face! How could they not be angry when they failed to scare the enemy and even got their comrades killed?
It was one of the sulkiest moments in the three Venerables' lives…
Only the six of them from the three Holy Lands were present, but it was more than sufficient to represent the authority of the three Holy Lands.
When Jun Mo Xie sneaked into the hall, Han Zhan Meng was saying slowly, looking concerned, ”… I'm sure all of you know what the root cause and happenings that have led to the situation today are, so I will not elaborate on those. As for the matter about the Jun Family, I suggest we wait and only react. If we participate in any preemptive attacks, I'm afraid we will be blamed for winning with numbers… and the reputation of the three Holy Lands might be damaged…”
Xiao Xing Yun snorted. ”So can I take that you mean the Xiao Family has to bear all the consequences because it's all our fault? I see, all you want is to give up on us and hand us over to the Jun Family so that there will be no more conflicts and battles!”
”You're exaggerating what I've said.” Han Zhan Meng remained calm. ”I'm just trying to say that it's all just karma. I'm sure you know that justice may be sometimes late but never absent! Everyone knows what happened in the past. Are you trying to say that you can bully the Jun Family, but you can't accept the fact that they'll seek revenge one day? So if you can face the Jun Family this time and fight them off, of course I won't be stopping you!” Han Zhan Meng made an awkward smile.
”Then what if we can't? Aren't you still hinting that the Silver City will not help our family even if we are going to be slaughtered?” Xiao Xing Yun laughed coldly and started sharply at Han Zhan Meng. ”Am I still exaggerating? Let me ask you! Our family has been so loyal to the Silver City for all these generations, but what do we get back in return? Getting abandoned? No support? Master Han, I am afraid what you have said is too cruel!”
Having been briefed by his father, Han Zhan Meng obviously refused to concede. However, with the support from the three Holy Lands, the Xiao Family was holding on to their firm stance!
So they began quarreling in the hall, which was very unusual.
And an explicit disagreement between the Master and the First Elder was also unprecedented!
Mo Xiao Yao just watched indifferently. He had no intentions of interfering.
”First Elder, do we have to trace back all the things you did in the past?” Han Zhan Meng's wife Xue Shuang Qing frowned. ”Did your family consult us when you sent your men for the Jun Family? We only knew when everything had already happened and the rumors had spread all around the continent! Were you being loyal when you made all these decisions without letting us know? Were you being loyal when you refused to stop and return when we asked?
”When you were back, the Master asked you to stop all actions against the Jun Family, but three years later you murdered two more young men of the Jun Family! Do you know how disgusting your bullying behaviors were?
”Ask yourself! Have you ever regarded yourselves as the subordinates of the Silver City? When your lone actions caused so much trouble, triggering their revenge, you expect the Silver City to be responsible for it? What kind of logic is this?
”Now you want us to be your scapegoat while your family can continue growing your secret forces?
”Do you think it's all so easy?” Xue Shuang Qing's face was flushed red.
