Alliance With the Xie Family
The entire place turned silent after Lord Xie's question for Su Yang, and the Xie Family glared at him as though they wanted to eat him alive.
"If you already know the answer, why did you still bother asking?" Su Yang spoke a moment later with a calm expression on his face.
"Just in case you decide to exceed my expectations and surprise me, even if that chance might be almost nonexistent."
"I see…" Su Yang slowly nodded his head, and he responded a moment later in a clear voice, "I refuse."
A bitter smile appeared on Lord Xie's face after hearing his words. Even though he'd already expected this answer, it was still baffling to him that someone would actually refuse his offer. In fact, Su Yang is the first person to have ever refused his offer, setting a precedent.
