Li Qiang smiled. "In that case, I'll treat you all. As for the matter with Junior Brother Lu Ren, I'll look into it later. If it's truly as you say, I won't acknowledge him as a junior brother either.
"If there's been a misunderstanding, I'll do my best to resolve it. For all us martial brothers to have come this far, we shouldn't let minor issues create rifts between us. We must stand united and advance together."
Xu Yang scoffed internally. 'All Li Qiang talks about is "standing united and advancing together." He's probably cooking up some big, nasty scheme.'
He couldn't be bothered to call him out and make an enemy; no matter what Li Qiang said, his plan was simply to refuse.
Li Qiang stood up and said, "Let's go. I'll treat you junior brothers to some drinks."
Sun Tao and the other two didn't decline, rising to their feet as well.
