Chapter 1445 - 1444 Wall-Top Grass
The news of these people defecting to the Medicine Sect caused a huge uproar in the Capital City once again.
You must know, after that last battle, all the major families in the Capital City had already completely admitted defeat. Moreover, everyone had promised Su Yang that no matter what happened in the future, at most they would remain neutral and never stand in opposition to Su Yang.
But in just two days, these people immediately betrayed. Taking the Minor Rejuvenation Pills they received from Su Yang, they all ran off to the Medicine Sect, openly declaring their intent to oppose Su Yang. This behavior made many in the Capital City feel it was utterly shameless.
Switching sides like a fickle fence-sitter is bad enough, but this quick and blatant?
When Zhao Hu Zi got the news, he furiously rushed to Su Yang to report the situation.
Su Yang, however, remained calm. After hearing Zhao Hu Zi’s words, there wasn’t a trace of anger on his face, as if he had already anticipated all of this.
"How many families have allied themselves with the Medicine Sect?" Su Yang casually asked.
"Thirteen!" Zhao Hu Zi hesitated for a moment before continuing, "There are also some others who are restless, and I suspect they’ll head to the Medicine Sect too."
"Only thirteen?" Su Yang chuckled. "That’s far fewer than I expected!"
Zhao Hu Zi looked at Su Yang in shock. "Master Su, these people had all sworn to stay neutral even if something happened. But they’ve taken the Minor Rejuvenation Pills you gave them and, in just a few days, switched sides to work against us. This... this is outrageous..."
"You can’t expect everyone in this world to keep their promises, can you?" Su Yang smiled. "Last time, over a hundred families were present. In the end, only thirteen families defected to the Medicine Sect. Frankly, I’m quite satisfied with that number. I told you back at the manor, didn’t I? I don’t need everyone to keep their word—just the majority of them will do!"
