Chapter 1151: Seeking Forgiveness
The port of Lion City was lively today, with Wang Danqing arriving aboard Wang Jiaohe’s flying ship and Li Tianzhen leaving Nanyang in utter disgrace.
It was rather ironic. One was the young master of the Wang family, while the other was the young master of the Li family. Both had once harbored thoughts toward Zhang Yuelu and thus viewed Qi Xuansu as a rival. But now, they had to bow their heads before Qi Xuansu.
Without question, this was an announcement of Qi Xuansu’s absolute victory.
After the meeting concluded, the three Daoist prodigies left Lion City as well, heading straight for Thanglong Prefecture.
Upon disembarking, Wang Danqing used old connections to secure a meeting with Xie Jiaofeng. In the past, he had never taken Xie Jiaofeng seriously, considering him a timid, submissive coward, someone who would not dare offend the mighty Young Master Wang.
The two once clashed in Xie Jiaofeng’s office because Wang Danqing berated him on something minor in front of others. Being a Deputy Mansion Master, Xie Jiaofeng had to show his authority, so he pushed back with a few retorts, enraging Wang Danqing, who stormed away. Afterward, Xie Jiaofeng pretended to fall ill and even complained to Sage Donghua, begging to leave Nanyang for fear of Wang Jiaohe’s retaliation.
In the end, thanks to Sage Donghua’s intervention, the matter concluded with Wang Jiaohe forcing Wang Danqing to offer a token apology. The two had little interaction afterward.
But seeing Xie Jiaofeng now, their fortunes had turned.
Xie Jiaofeng left Wang Danqing waiting for four hours before appearing leisurely. He offered some perfunctory remarks about being terribly busy and half-heartedly apologized for making Young Master Wang wait.
Wang Danqing was furious, but he remembered his father’s instructions and endured everything.
After Wang Danqing explained his purpose, Xie Jiaofeng intentionally made things difficult, saying he dared not offend anyone and that this matter was complicated. He came up with all sorts of excuses, forcing Wang Danqing to humble himself repeatedly.
Finally, Xie Jiaofeng begrudgingly said he would try to reach out to Qi Xuansu.
