Any clear-headed person could discern the implication of those words. Shi Chun's group quickly glanced toward Su Qiao, their eyes unconsciously betraying a hint of wariness.
Nor could they be blamed for such a reaction; after all, Su Qiao's behavior in inspecting for contraband had indeed been unusual.
At the same time, Shi Chun also cast several extra looks at Qu Wuming. Not related by blood or friendship, why was this person being so benevolently helpful?
The scene suddenly fell silent, and the upper echelons of the Artifact Refining Sects in attendance all wore peculiar expressions.
Su Qiao, caught off guard for a moment, suddenly laughed coldly and, pointing at Qu Wuming, counterattacked, "Shi Chun, this is Qu Wuming, Sect Master of the Yanbao Sect. You've seen for yourself the divisive skills this sect possesses, haven't you? They're inherited. When you're inside, you better be cautious around the disciples of the Yanbao Sect."
