If this year's clan assembly is viewed as a competition between Ying Xiao's line and Ying Chong's line, then the opening appears to have swung in favour of Ying Xiao's side!
A good start!
This has uplifted the once dispirited spirits of Ying Xiao's line.
However, the clan assembly has yet to start and the schemes of Ying Chong's line that have been patiently planned for quite some time will undoubtedly leave no opportunities for Ying Xiao's line in the rest of the proceedings!
'Could it be that my son-in-law might assist my line today to turn the tide?' Ying Xiao couldn't help but glance at the equally unconcerned Huang Xiaolong. He then shook his head with self-deprecation. 'It is unlikely... With Ying Qingfeng as a hurdle, it's hard to surpass... But if my son-in-law can prevent our total defeat, and prevent an utter loss of face, it's already a great achievement!'
