Tang Zhi waved off the irritated Lei Ze, and addressed He Xiong with a gentle nod. "If patriarch He has made up his mind, the He family are blessed with a journey of prosperity. But the round trip to Chengzhou, two ten thousand miles in snowy and icy conditions, to transport over thirty-thousand He Clan's people. Now that patriarch He has formulated a plan, the debt owed to the Tang Clan should be repaid."
No one had expected Tang Zhi's affable manner. They had assumed that the Tang Clan patriarch would rage against such a betrayal, but instead, he was remarkably calm. This response caught the attention of several family leaders. They had left Chengzhou due to natural disasters and defeat in battle, but they did not consider themselves overcome as their family structures were still well intact, they had brought back their most valuable skills, techniques, and talents. If they were not wary of the Tang Clan, they might have already considered finding a new city of their own.
