“Vice Director Yang, the flames of anger from the Southern Palace, Myriad Treasures Palace, and Qingyang Palace are all awaiting to be extinguished by us. I only have one word. If you can put out the flames of their fury, then I will not pursue Lu Wuji’s matter.”
Shangguan Yi set forth his bottom line.
There was a rueful look on Yang Zhao’s face. Extinguish the flames of anger from these three places? He knew that he didn’t have the ability to do so. He had always been close to the Northern Palace.
He had no business dealings with the other three and thus only had a middling relationship with them.
If even the face of the general director wasn’t useful, then where did he rank on the totem pole? He would only be inviting humiliation.
