Meng Chen's Warning, the Sky Serpent Mansion's Deputy Chief Intends to Act

Meng Chen's gaze turned cold.

He had not expected the Sky Serpent Mansion to still have its sights set on Qinglin.

But that was hardly surprising. According to the intelligence Yafei had gathered, the Sky Serpent Mansion's chief was at least a Four-Star Dou Zong, while Chen City only had the Gold and Silver Elders, two One-Star Dou Zongs, openly displayed.

Such strength would naturally make the Sky Serpent Mansion wary, but making them completely give up on obtaining Qinglin was simply impossible.

"So, your chief is planning to come to Chen City and seize someone from us?"

There was no emotion to be heard in Meng Chen's voice, and his expression revealed absolutely nothing of what he was thinking.

He could not help but secretly lament his plight. People like Meng Chen, who never showed their emotions, were the most sinister. There was no way to read or flatter them. Whether he lived or died rested entirely on Meng Chen's whim.

The gray-robed man could only grit his teeth and reveal what he knew. "Not the chief, but the deputy chief. After Qing Elder returned and reported it, the deputy chief... she felt that the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils were simply too rare to give up so easily. That was why she sent this lowly one here first to find out the situation. Once the time is right, she will... send people over..."

He did not dare mention anything about seizing someone and could only say that people would be sent over, afraid of angering the seemingly gentle young man before him.

But after he finished speaking, the air suddenly fell silent, and it remained silent. No one spoke.

The gray-robed man felt as though the air itself was growing heavier, as if every breath required enormous effort.
