Confusion surged in his heart.
Zhuang Yi couldn't help but hesitate, either.
Master Zhang from the Danlong School was highly experienced, and since he had spoken so strongly, there wasn't a better reason to refuse his proposal in front of everyone.
After some hesitation, he said:
"Then… then we'll follow Master Zhang's suggestion."
Upon hearing this, the old and dignified Master Zhang reverted back to his previous silent self, sitting by the tea table, sipping his tea quietly.
Wang Tang, too, couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
He felt somewhat helpless.
Since he had taken the initiative, he should have demonstrated the pose of a leader, refusing Master Zhang of the Danlong School directly.
Now, unless one was a fool, Shen Fu could clearly see that the Xuli Sect was fanning the flames, without revealing any sort of domineering spirit of their own.
Really, he wasn't sure why the Sect Master had assigned Elder Zhuang to deal with this situation. This was exceedingly passive.
