Fang Jiuyuan watched Su Xin with a gloomy look. Only now did he truly regard Su Xin as an equal opponent.
In Fang Jiuyuan's eyes, Su Xin had once been nothing more than a junior raised by the Tie Family, someone who seemed so arrogant only because the Tie Family backed him.
But now it seemed that even without the Tie Family's help, Su Xin would still be a formidable thorn in his side.
He had called everyone together to discuss matters today because he wanted to weaken Su Xin's authority.
He had expected to catch a chicken, only to lose the rice he'd used as bait. Not only had he failed to weaken Su Xin's authority, he had given Su Xin the chance to propose consolidating the forces in Beiyuan Circuit.
But Su Xin's excuse was so perfectly reasonable that Fang Jiuyuan couldn't even find a way to argue against it.
Tie Zhan spoke up. "I think Su Xin's suggestion is quite reasonable. The Great Zhou Dynasty has forty-nine circuits, and Beiyuan Circuit is the only one without anyone in charge. Since Su Xin is willing to take over its affairs, that saves our Six Fan Sect the trouble of assigning a Spirit Transformation Realm martial artist. What's wrong with that?
"We're already very short-handed. Every person we can spare is another bit of strength."
Tie Zhan had spoken, and Liu Wuqian seemed content to stand aside, as if it had nothing to do with him. Fang Jiuyuan had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.
In truth, his loss hadn't been undeserved. Su Xin hadn't suddenly come up with the idea of consolidating Beiyuan Circuit's power on a whim.
