"Kid, no matter what, you must be very careful," Elder Xiao said profoundly. "Sometimes, a person's strength isn't their personal power, but their influence—enough to make others dread them."
Lin Mu's brow furrowed slightly. Elder Xiao's words seemed to carry a hidden meaning.
However, Lin Mu didn't take it to heart. It wasn't arrogance. He simply knew that as long as he was strong enough, would he even need to worry about lacking influence?
Seeing Lin Mu was unmoved, Elder Xiao said, "Regardless of whether you destroyed the Fang Family, you must not spread it around, otherwise..."
He paused before continuing, "The Fang Family has been established in Jiangling for over a hundred years; it's foolish to think they have no power. Their patriarch, Fang Chang'an, has several powerful friends, and their in-laws, the Wang Family Clan, are a branch of one of the Capital's great Aristocratic Clans. Any one of those figures is a terrifying existence."
