This old fellow was quick to speak. Everyone inwardly sighed. There would not be much debate over this matter, but Yan Jin certainly could not praise himself. Now that Qing Shan had nominated him at once, he could naturally earn some favor with the future alliance leader.
Only after Elder Qing Shan spoke did Yan Jin slowly open his mouth. "To be honest with you all, it was precisely my poor decisions that caused the Flame Clan to suffer such a severe blow.
