"Look."
"Speak properly. Wouldn't that settle things?"
"Remember."
"Harmony is the most precious thing in all matters."
Jiang Qiao smiled.
"Your strength is formidable. We're no match for you." Chen Qiming took another deep breath, suppressing his emotions. "But I must remind you of one thing: this is the North."
"Even if you're powerful, that doesn't mean you can run rampant without restraint."
"There are top-tier experts in the North too."
A person lived for a face, while a tree lived for its bark.
An outsider, and one from the South at that, had not only appeared in Xin Zhou City for no apparent reason but had also injured Master Yang. If they admitted defeat now and word got out, the northern circle would probably never be able to hold its head high again.
But if they really fought Jiang Qiao...
Everyone here, without exception, would probably have to answer for it today.
This man...
He might very well be on par with several "Great Sirs"!
So his plan was to first invoke the North's top-tier experts to intimidate his opponent, then find a way to back down with dignity. At the very least, they could not appear to have been cowed by the other party!
"Heh."
"Are you threatening me?"
Jiang Qiao smiled.
"No."
"I'm merely stating a fact."
Chen Qiming said solemnly, "Your Excellency, you may state what you wish to do. As long as it doesn't endanger the northern Supernatural Circle, perhaps this old man can still be of some help. But Your Excellency should also know that the North has capable people as well."
"You came to Xin Zhou City."
"You must give us an explanation in the end!"
"That's fair. As the hosts, you do deserve an explanation for my coming to Xin Zhou City."
