"In short, Wan Tonghui is innocent. Even if he must be punished, that is an internal matter of my Yang Family."
Having said that, Yang Zhi shrugged and turned to leave, but then paused and added, "Grand Overlord Commander, I told you before—my Yang Family can leave the Eastern Tyrant Branch at any time. Do not force me."
