"Greetings, Elder Xu!"
Upon seeing the newcomer, the disciples of the True Martial Sect immediately stepped out of the guesthouse to bow in respect. Understanding the elder’s identity, Wu Qingce cupped his hands politely and said, "This junior Wu Qingce pays his respects to Elder Xu of the True Martial Sect."
Wu Qingce’s courteous attitude left Xu Jingqiu with little room to continue his outburst. He could only say, "By principle, I shouldn’t interfere in matters between you juniors.
But you barged into our territory and publicly tried to take away one of our True Martial Sect disciples—do you think the True Martial Sect has no one capable of standing up to you?"
"If Elder Xu puts it that way, then this junior shall take his leave."
Following Jiang Beiran’s secret voice transmission, Wu Qingce turned and left without another word, leaving the onlookers stunned. He’s just leaving like that!? Shouldn’t there be some back-and-forth?
The grand show ended far too abruptly. Xu Jingqiu hadn’t expected Wu Qingce to leave so decisively either. For a moment, he considered calling him back—but what then?
