At this time, Xue An continued, "I should have eradicated your Lü Family, but in consideration of your status as a Pill Master, I shall spare you this once! Should there be a next time, there will be no mercy!"

To have preserved the Lü Family was a stroke of immense fortune.
Then, Xue An surveyed the crowd with a faint smile on his lips before he turned and headed back into the Elixir Tower's great hall.
The banquet continued.
But people's attitudes toward Xue An had changed.
