Chapter 168: You Want Revenge?
"Looking at the current situation, the Murong family appears to have already drawn the ire of the Sheng Province General, and on top of that has managed to antagonize the other martial world families in the city. To speak honestly, things are looking quite dire."
Hu Rui'an made no effort to soften his words, and did not appear particularly concerned that Murong Xiaoya was sitting right there in the carriage.
Even so, Murong Xiaoya said nothing in response to his assessment, only lowering her head and quietly letting out a small sigh.
Li Musheng had no interest in the squabbles among the provincial city's various factions. He glanced at Hu Rui'an, waved a hand, and said, "Commissioner Hu, if you have nothing to say, then don't force it."
Hearing this, Hu Rui'an swallowed the rest of what he had been about to say and fell into silence.
And so the carriage rolled away from the Murong estate and continued along the streets.
Murong Xiaoya had grown up in the provincial city and knew it inside and out. Which places in the city were worth visiting and exploring, she knew perfectly well.
What was more, though she was socially anxious, she was actually quite conscientious and took her duties seriously. Well aware of her purpose in coming out, she kept her eyes on the road through the window, directing Cao Gaoshan and Wu Shang and the others.
Even so, because the four major families had mobilized their soldiers, the further they got from the Murong estate, the more chaotic the streets became.
