"This is fucking... what kind of bullshit is this?!"
"This clearly has nothing to do with me, so why is all the pressure being dumped on me alone?"
Caught between a rock and a hard place, Wu Qiuse was seething with anger.
But he had no choice but to give it serious thought.
One could not have both fish and bear's paw. In this situation, he had to choose a side.
As for choosing neither side, he had never entertained such a foolish notion, nor was it possible. Under these circumstances, choosing neither meant losing the friendship of both sides at once.
But which side should he choose?
Clearly, time did not allow Wu Qiuse much room to think.
His gaze shifted, and his eyes immediately became resolute.
"Hehe... Qin Jue, I am the Nine Yang City Lord, after all. What is the meaning of threatening me in public again and again? Do you really think I, Wu Qiuse, am made of clay?"
"Besides, do you not know perfectly well how your Feitian City people died just now?"
"They tried to ambush someone and got killed instead. What face do you have to shout and make a scene here? Aren't you afraid of disgracing Feitian City? If the Feitian City Lord learned of this, I'm afraid he would fly into a rage as well, wouldn't he?"
At those words, Qin Jue's old face turned utterly black.
How could he not realize that Wu Qiuse had chosen Li Yun's side?
This was troublesome.
Unless they immediately summoned more people from Feitian City, their current strength could never defeat two Dao Seed Realm experts.
But bringing in more people from Feitian City at such short notice would not only take time; even their pride and reputation required him to think it over
