Chapter 604: Collusion (II)
Li Xuanfeng offered a quiet word of thanks, to which Xiao Yongling responded gravely, "There is no need for thanks, Xuanfeng. If Yu Muxian ascends to the Purple Mansion Realm, there is not a single family that would welcome it. And years ago, the Yu Family competed fiercely with your family, leaving a legacy of resentment with my own as well."
Xiao Yongling continued, "Yu Muxian may appear detached from the world, indifferent even to his own kin, but who is to say this is not a calculated facade? Moreover, Daoist Master Yuanwu and my Xiao Family's ancestors were bitter enemies. Regardless of the circumstances, I will take action."
