Mi Jin nodded noncommittally, yet puzzled, he asked, "Quelling the Red Cloud Village issue isn't a big deal, but how to defy the Du Clan?"
"The Sect Head is unaware." Mi Zhen, brought up this issue with such emotion that his voice involuntarily rose, "This morning, I went to Red Cloud Mountain and tried to entice the Du Clan with extremely generous conditions, but Du Sha kept making excuses. So, I set another appointment for tomorrow. Just now, I heard that without turning down the Mi Clan's approach, Du Sha agreed to Tang Luo's plan for civilian recruitment, which has enraged me!"
The stewards in the council hall, while busy with their own tasks, listened in. Finally, they understood why Third Elder was so furious.
Having heard Mi Zhen's words, Mi Jin pacified him in a soft voice, "Third Elder, calm down. In this Sect Head's opinion, now is not the right time to move against Red Cloud Village."
