"Mister Ning, we really owe you one this time. Otherwise, my Bai family and Manager Song would have been in serious trouble..."
Bai Jingchuan spoke up.
Song Guowei nodded as well. Taking a deep breath, he said, "That's right. If you hadn't stepped in, Mister Ning, neither Patriarch Bai nor I would have known how to deal with the Hong Sect's coercion."
It wasn't just Song Guowei. Even the Bai family had no ability to resist a behemoth like the Hong Sect, which had several Golden Core Great Grandmasters and even Nascent Soul cultivators.
Without Ning Wangshu, they would probably have had no choice but to submit in the end and follow the Hong Sect's orders from then on. Otherwise, a terrible disaster would have befallen both the Bai family and Song Guowei!
Ning Wangshu smiled slightly. "Patriarch Bai, Manager Song, there's no need to be so polite. We've known each other for a while now. This was just a small matter."
"If the Hong Sect dares to target you, I naturally can't stand by and do nothing."
Although Ning Wangshu had always treated Bai Jingchuan and Song Guowei as equals, the two of them were, in truth, entirely at his disposal.
If Ning Wangshu told them to go east, they would never go west.
To put it plainly, the two of them could be considered Ning Wangshu's men.
They had simply never said so outright. Now that someone had dared to target Bai Jingchuan and Song Guowei and force them to submit, how could Ning Wangshu possibly stand by and do nothing?
"All right, Patriarch Bai, Manager Song, I still have to get back to Jiangnan City, so I'll leave you to it for now. Once you're back in Jiangnan City, we can get together when we have time."
