The entire square underwent a sudden change in atmosphere.
"City Lord, what do you mean by this?" Cang Long asked with furrowed brows.
"Mr. Cang Long, I too deeply regret the death of your disciple. However, your disciple Suo Wen challenged the Jing Family by setting up a duel arena and was ultimately slain by the Jing Family Disciples; the process conformed to duel rules, and Jing Yan is clearly innocent. Suo Wen set up the duel, so he should have been prepared to die. If Suo Wen had succeeded in killing Jing Yan, I wouldn't have blamed him either," Huo Chunyang's eyes narrowed slightly.
Indeed, he did not want to offend someone like Cang Long.
But if he had to choose between Jing Yan and Cang Long, he would certainly choose to offend Cang Long. No matter how significant Cang Long's background might be, could it be more considerable than that of Lord Bai Xue? Or more than the Prince?
