"Was it you who dealt with the Li Clan?"
"Would Minister Wang believe me if I claimed it was an accident?"
Wang Hou did not give a direct reply, but his smile gave him away.
Xu Yang could only insist: "It really was an accident... Alas, Li Yifeng was just unlucky!"
Wang Hou then said: "If he's killed, so be it. I've long wanted to act against those ancient martial clans but being a government official, I couldn't openly act against them. Even after ascending to Land Immortal, all I did was give them some warning shots."
After glancing at Xu Yang, he paused and continued: "However, you should be careful. The Li Clan has swallowed their pride this time, only to strike back more fiercely next time. Once their ancient ancestor comes out of seclusion, they will surely make a move against us."
"When the soldiers come, let the general handle them. When the water comes, let's divert it. Don't we still have you, Minister Wang?"
Xu Yang laughed.
There was something he didn't say.
