The voice of Jiao Wu, the Marquis of Weining, couldn't be accused of lacking intensity or loyalty.
With his words, the entire Reef Kingdom would regard him as an enemy, for he harbored the intention to annihilate their nation!
Xue Mingyi did not continue his aggressive approach but loosened his grip and stepped aside, "This is a birthday gift from Xue, feel free to inquire, Elder Jiao!"
Thus Jiang Wang understood that Xue Mingyi was only here to deliver Han Xu's warning, not to actually coerce Jiao Wu into rebellion.
There were two possibilities for this warning.
Perhaps Jiao Wu was genuinely tempted by the Reef Kingdom's proposal, thinking that if Yong Country were to be destroyed, he, as the Marquis of Weining, could gather a large army and carve out a few pieces of fertile land to become a king alongside Reef Kingdom.
But there was another possibility… it could be because of Mo Jingyu.
