She was secretly pleased. Fortunately, she had handled it quickly, and with just a few words, she had defined Elder Jiu Ling's provocation towards Xu Xing this time as a competition between fellow Daoists.
A competition was about rivalry, but it wouldn't harm relationships.
As soon as Elder Jiu Ling saw the look in Lady Hua's eyes, he understood. His tone immediately softened, no longer as harsh as before.
"Now that Silver Ring Zhai is in decline, and both White Old Ghost and Lady Zi are dead, the Taoist Treasures that Our Sect and Phantom Valley lent to them have been seized by Daoist Chang," he continued. "And in this matter, Silver Ring Zhai has shown no intention of offering any compensation."
His words hinted that after this competition, Extreme Heart Sect could form an alliance with Immeasurable Sect to jointly divide the remaining assets of Silver Ring Zhai.
There are no permanent allies, only permanent interests.
