Watching Jieyin and Zhunti act as though this had nothing to do with them and they could simply stand aloof, Yuanshi felt like cursing their mothers.
Underhanded!
You're the ones who are underhanded!
First-rate experts at passing the buck!
You refuse to step forward and do the dirty work yourselves, so you make me do it. You're the most despicable and shameless of all!
Laozi and Tongtian's attitude, in particular, made it worse.
Yuanshi's heart grew colder still.
There was nothing he could do. Who had told him to be so stupid and respond to Zhunti for no reason?
Gritting his teeth, Yuanshi said with a dark expression:
"Since both junior brothers feel that I should handle this, I'll make the trip. I only hope that the three of you and Eldest Brother will handle whatever follows. I won't interfere any further."
Whatever follows?
Hearing that, Jieyin and Zhunti nearly went wild with delight.
You still think there's something to follow, Yuanshi?
There isn't a damned thing!
You've dragged the Witch Clan into this yourself. With those muscle-brained Twelve Ancestral Witches, do you really think they'll care about any of that when the time comes?
They'll go after whoever did it.
Since you're the one doing it, Yuanshi, don't even think about passing the buck.
"Alas."
Hearing this, Laozi also sighed softly.
Things had already reached this point, and there was nothing he could do.
After all, when the time came to deal with the Twelve Ancestral Witches, they would still need Jieyin and Zhunti's strength.
They couldn't afford to offend the two fellow disciples too deeply now!
Seeing the expressions on Jieyin's, Zhunti's, and even Laozi's faces, Yuanshi's expression grew uglier still.
He seemed to have realized it too.
There really would be no follow-up to this matter.
Whatever
