Wandong feared that the Qingyun warriors would seek their doom again. He hastened to hinder them from taking a rash action.
"Wait a minute! Listen to me!"
"Childe Xu! We Qingyun warriors are no cowards! Why should we stay a victim to their bully? Please take the lead! Let's join hands and burn the Tianbao Mansion down to the ground."
Wandong nodded in consent with a gloomy look on his face.
"That's true. I never doubt your courage in defending our empire. However, I think I have to tell you — the old dog's martial cultivation has already reached the ninth level of the spiritual energy. He deliberately posed irritation on us, simply in order to prepare a massacre. Don't fall for that!"
"Childe Xu, he indeed boasts a sound martial capacity, but we outnumber him to a great degree! If ten of us are not his equal, we can add the number to one hundred. We have to put away the old dog by one way or another today."
Wandong twisted his eyebrows.
"Ten to one? That's way too much! You guys are the backbone of the Qingyun Empire. The responsibility of safeguarding our motherland rests with you! And you're still young and energetic! Look at him! He's already half buried in his tomb. You find him comparable to yourselves? Even if it were the other way round — a Qingyun warrior fights a hundred Wu Qiujuns, it's still not worth it."
On hearing that, Wu Qiujun flared up right away. He was of a supreme social status in the Tiezhan Empire. However, in the eyes of Wandong, he was good for nothing. He had never been there before.
However, Wu Qiujun dared not refute Wandong's mockery. He already arrived at his wit's end. Hence, he had no option but to let Wandong have an upper hand in their confrontation.
Wandong's persuasion calmed down the furious crowd. Then he hastened to dismiss them lest any accident might come forth.
"Please trust me. I shall, by all means, seek justice on your behalf. Please leave here for now. I'm afraid the old dog will continue to hurt you guys."
"Childe Xu, we'll stay here to support you! What if he takes the opportunity to hurt you instead? We have to stay by your side!"
The Qingyun warriors nodded in unanimous agreement, showing their steadfast will to back up Wandong.
It seemed that Wandong was in good graces of the Qingyun people.
Duan Lengyan raised her eyebrows in spite of herself and found it hard to figure it out.
"It's rather odd! Based on what I learned, Xu Yaoting was portrayed as a notorious dandy in the Qingyun Empire — all the people hated him to the core! But…but it seems his reputation is pretty sound! How queer!"
Even Leng Yuecui and Wu Yang, Yaoting's friends found it bizarre as well. Xu Yaoting used to be cast aside by his people. However, he turned into an endeared hero all of a sudden.
Wandong had no option but to go on persuading them.
"Haha…Please stop flattering the old dog like that! If he had balls, he could have long killed me. Please don't worry, I'm pretty resourceful. Please leave here for now for your own sake."
At last, the Qingyun warriors left the Tianbao Mansion with rage, carrying the casualties on their backs.
Duan Lengyan followed the departing crowd with her eyes. She still felt ill at ease. She was sure that they would give enormous publicity to what happened today. That would surely impair the reputation of the Tianbao Mansion. Gone were the days when it was their money spinners.
