"Then think of a way to rein in their arrogance!" Yi Song was so anxious that his face flushed red. "Why aren't either of you the least bit worried?"
After Lin Bai sat down, he calmly began drinking tea. Chen Yule sat in his seat, and although his expression was rather unpleasant, he was not overly anxious either.
Yi Song prattled on, "Have you two not heard what people outside are saying about our Five Great Families and Seven Sects of Chu?"
"They're saying... the disciples of Chu's Five Great Families and Seven Sects are all useless, and none of them can withstand a single move from a Northern Domain martial artist."
"Listen to that... how can we put up with it?"
Yi Song widened his eyes and looked at Chen Yule and Lin Bai.
Chen Yule took a deep breath, his expression easing slightly. "Brother Yi, have you vented enough? Then sit down and let's discuss this calmly."
"Ah..." Yi Song let out a long sigh, dropped heavily into his seat, drained the wine in his cup, and then slammed the cup to the ground, shattering it.
Lin Bai knew that Yi Song and Chen Yule were both harboring anger in their hearts, but there was nothing else they could do for now.
"Has the news already spread throughout the imperial capital?" Lin Bai asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Yes. Everyone in the imperial capital knows. They all know that Chen Family, Tianshui Sect, and Celestial Immortal Sect—the Three Great Sects—have all been defeated by Northern Domain martial artists." Yi Song spoke to Lin Bai.
The news spread even faster than I imagined. It seems someone is fanning the flames from behind the scenes... Lin Bai lowered his brows and eyes, narrowing them thoughtfully.
Chen Yule thought seriously for a moment.
