Chapter 670_1
In the banquet hall, aside from the highest official and vice official from the Eastern Dragon Soul Corps who haven’t arrived yet, everyone else was already present. Qin Siyuan walked in, greeted everyone by raising his hand and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, it’s been three years since we last met, I hope all has been well with you."
Most of the air officers, who have a dispute with Su Chengyu, were not giving Qin Siyuan a friendly face. As the host of this Dragon Soul assembly, Yin Huan naturally had to appear generous. He stood up to welcome him, "Brother Qin, please have a seat."
Just as Qin Siyuan pulled the chair to sit down, Shen Zhuoyan sneered, "Some people are just so full of themselves right now, purposely arriving this late, making all of us wait. Why didn’t you wait for the arrival of the chief minister to make your entrance later? Then let him also wait for you."
As resentful towards Su Chengyu because of his son’s death, Shen Zhuoyan vented his anger on Qin Siyuan and initiated the provocations.
"Brother Shen, this is not fair. The dinner time was 6 o’clock, and I arrived at 5:50, which was reasonable and fair. Everyone present here is either at the same level as me, or stronger than me, I don’t have any room to be arrogant. Brother Shen, there’s no need for you to try to sow dissension. Everyone here is discerning and reasonable and won’t be swayed by your sinister words."
Qin Siyuan’s words were watertight, which put Shen Zhuoyan on the defensive.
"I am not trying to sow dissension. I am just speaking the truth. Everyone knows that a rising star emerged from Jiangdong, who made a big scene in Suifeng a while ago, even killed a ninth-grade martial king. You have such a powerful ally, your target this time must be to win the first prize of the Dragon Soul Assembly, isn’t it?" Shen Zhuoyan continued to provoke.
"Indeed, Su Cheng is my Jiangdong Dragon Soul Corps chief minister. His joining the Jiangdong Dragon Soul Corps is my luck. As for the rankings, I dare not expect much, especially your Jiangbei’s last place, I absolutely don’t dare touch, nor do I hope for that."
Qin Siyuan immediately returned the insult without leaving any face for Shen Zhuoyan.
