Seeing so many people opposing him and the lack of support from his trusted aides, Du Yu couldn't help but waver.
Observing Du Yu's changing expression, Xu Mu was left somewhat speechless.
You used me as a pawn, yet you hesitate when it's time to offer rewards.
Initially, he had thought Du Yu to be a man of substance, now it seemed he had overestimated him.
Xu Mu suddenly understood why none of Du Yu's subordinates were willing to support him outright.
Who would support someone who chases small profits at the expense of their principles?
"Since everyone has objections, then I will have to ask Elder Xu to bear with it for the time being. Once you have crafted the tier seven pill, I will personally clear your name!"
In the end, Du Yu decided to sacrifice Xu Mu's interests to quell the communal anger.
Perhaps in his heart, he also felt that Xu Mu should not take it.
"I will obey the Hall Master's orders." Xu Mu said flatly.
