Defeated and Dispersed

Chu Li smiled and declined to comment about it.

Murong Chun smiled and said, "Young lord, what do you think of my idea?"

"I would like to ask Elder Murong if I could make the decision regarding Qiao San's situation?"

"Well..." Murong Chun grinned. "Of course, the young lord is free to make the call under normal circumstances."

Chu Li said, "That's great. I thought I was going to be a puppet whose every move has been subjected to the whims of Elder Murong."

"I dare not think so." Murong Chun shook his head.

Chu Li responded, "Qiao San is my people. The decision on whether or not to let him return home to enjoy his life is mine to make alone. Elder Murong need not worry about this matter."

"Hehe, very well," Murong Chun said with a smile. "In any case, the young lord can't always be this carefree. It's time to learn how to handle the affairs within the sect."
