Inside the western chamber.
Chen Shuiwen convened with Sun Zhengyi and others once again, but this time, the gathering clearly had a few fewer attendees than before.
With a sullen face, Chen Shuiwen asked, "Where are Wang Li and Jiang Yue?"
Sun Zhengyi answered, "When I went to call them, they said they weren't feeling well..."
"Not feeling well?"
Chen Shuiwen let out a cold snort and sneered contemptuously, "Most likely, they perceive that I'm at a disadvantage in this round and want to distance themselves from me. Never mind them, once I've dealt with Xiao Yi, let's see how I'll pinch them."
Sun Zhengyi hurriedly said, "Chancellor, rest assured, we are firmly on your side and will definitely not be fence-sitters like those two!"
"Right, in life we are yours, in death we are your ghosts!"
"What's Xiao Yi anyway? It's just that he's had some good luck today, even running into Ye Heng..."
Several people added hastily.
