"So the two guilds are bound to clash when the time comes. They'll both want to get the upper hand and save face."
"Our task is to defeat the Guardian Guild's newly risen genius ninja and prove to everyone that the Hunter Guild is stronger. Do you understand?"
After Xiang Zhuo finished speaking, Su Bai was just about to nod when Xiang added something else, his tone full of contempt.
"Every time there's a high-profile banquet in Yang City, we end up clashing with the Guardian Guild. Judging by your question, you've never been to one, have you? Heh."
Was this jerk deliberately picking a fight?
Su Bai narrowed his eyes. He didn't immediately stoop to Xiang Zhuo's level, but he made a mental note of it.
Luo Yan waved a hand impatiently. "All right, Xiang Zhuo. You've met Su Bai. You can go now."
"Yes... Elder Luo." Xiang Zhuo bowed respectfully to Luo Yan, but cursed her under his breath.
"What's she so arrogant about? She's only two years older than me and a jonin. Just wait until I become one too—I'll show her!"
In a bad mood, Xiang Zhuo didn't want to stick around. He turned and left at once.
But he knew those words were nothing but wishful thinking. He was already twenty-three and had only two hundred points of chakra... He probably wouldn't become a jonin in the next ten years.
After Xiang Zhuo left, Su Bai asked unhappily, "Sister Yan, is that guy Xiang Zhuo crazy or something? Why'd he pick on me the first time we met?"
Luo Yan gestured for him to sit. The stern authority she'd shown while Xiang Zhuo was there softened, and she smiled. "Sit down first. I'll explain everything. It happened like this..."
