Chapter 110 - 92: Over a Thousand Steps with One Qi! The Might of the Qi Refining Realm!_3
"My original intention was simply to create chaos, to make Wang Yuan lose people’s hearts and delay the awarding of the Green Phoenix Seal," Mr. Lu said with a laugh, seemingly unconcerned.
"They want to award Wang Yuan on the other side, and you want to ruin Wang Yuan’s reputation on this side, aren’t you working against each other?" Deputy Commander Zhu couldn’t help frowning.
"But Wang Yuan is ultimately dead," the white-clad chief frowned and said, "Is this considered a declaration of war against the new ruler of Qifeng Prefecture City?"
"Not at all," Mr. Lu stroked his beard and smiled faintly, "I just slightly disagree with some of their laws, rules, ways of doing things, and their so-called big picture, that’s all."
"Where does Mr. Lu disagree?" the white-clad chief opened his mouth and said, "If Wang Yuan had not died today, it would have been a minor issue that I and Deputy Commander Zhu had not gone to award him, but now that Wang Yuan is dead, the two of us will inevitably face some punishment..."
"Facing punishment?" Deputy Commander Zhu’s face immediately turned bitter, and he said, "Mr. Lu, you should at least make us understand why we are being punished..."
"This world is divided into black and white, but sometimes it’s not so clear-cut."
Mr. Lu stood up, lamenting, "Some people above us have already begun to doubt, guessing that even if Wang Yuan isn’t on the black side, he won’t be on the white side either."
"But for the sake of the big picture, they choose to ignore the truth and whitewash Wang Yuan."
"Wang Yuan might barely be considered gray, but after all, he’s tainted with black, and can’t be washed to white."
Pausing for a moment, Mr. Lu’s expression turned serious as he said, "I do not agree with their ways! Of course, there’s also a bit of personal grudge; before the slaughterhouse incident, Wang Yuan dared to scheme against me, and as you know, I’ve always been one to hold grudges."
