Chapter 448 - 398: Sacrificial Ritual, Assassination
"Senior Brother Zhang Zhongshu, born into the Zhang Family of Hengtang, has an aloof and arrogant disposition. I’m afraid he won’t feel any kinship with fellow sect members. Master Ming, it would be wise to plan ahead for this..."
Xiao Chengfeng said this and glanced at Zhan Shanhe and Wu Junsong.
In matters of interpersonal relationships, this peripheral member of the Royal Family truly had a talent. Soon after Zhou Ping’an arrived in Pinghu City, Xiao had already figured out his past and even clarified the fact that he once sought apprenticeship in the Cloud Water Sect.
Of course, he also knew that Zhou Ping’an, Zhan Shanhe, Wu Junsong, and even Zhang Zhongshu were all from the same sect.
Zhan Shanhe nodded.
Though reluctant to admit it, she felt Xiao Chengfeng’s judgment was fundamentally without fault.
As for Governor of Huangze County, Zhang Zhongshu’s character, the two of them were most qualified to comment, having seen him in the mountains.
"That’s right, Senior Brother Zhang is indeed very proud. In the sect, he naturally had no regard for us Inner Sect Disciples. What’s more, in these tumultuous times with war looming on every front, everyone has their own plans. Senior Brother Zhang probably won’t care about the camaraderie among fellow sect members and will most likely issue a summons, ordering us to surrender the city and submit to him."
Zhan Shanhe thought for a moment and still gave her candid opinion.
Originally, when they were dispatched to Qingyang City, those Inner Sect Disciples on the mountain had been as averse as if avoiding snakes or scorpions. Essentially, no one wanted to come to assist Zhou Ping’an.
The reason was quite simple.
