Chapter 167: The Siege
The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries, and Murong Hong then took his seat.
The entire Murong family had in fact already been gathered, and had only been waiting for Li Musheng and the others to arrive before beginning the morning meal.
As the head of Sheng Province's foremost martial arts family, Murong Hong had three sons and a daughter.
Murong Xiaoya, the youngest, was sitting in a corner on one side of the long table with her two brothers beside her.
Socially anxious as she was, she kept her gaze drifting toward Li Musheng and the others from the moment they arrived.
Even so, with this many people in the hall, initiating a greeting in front of everyone was naturally out of the question for her.
The Murong family observed strict etiquette at mealtimes, and ate in silence without conversation, leaving the hall pleasantly quiet.
Once the meal was finished and the family members had gradually dispersed, Murong Hong finally turned to the matter at hand.
"I heard from little Xiaoya about everything that happened in the city yesterday. Many thanks to Your Highness and Commissioner Hu for stepping in. Had Xiaoya fallen into the Bai family's hands, the consequences would have been terrible."
