"Heh heh..."
"Hahaha..."
The two men smiled at each other.
But the difference was clear: the man from the Wu Lineage wore a bitter smile, while the man from the Gao Lineage looked utterly relaxed.
The Wu Lineage man's mind was filled with nothing but fog.
His lineage had sent new instructions, but this order to wait and watch was honestly worse than getting nothing at all!
Wasn't it practically the same as saying nothing?
The man from the Gao Lineage was perceptive too, and understood something in an instant.
Seeing this man surnamed Wu stammering with bitterness written all over his face, he knew it could be nothing good... but that had nothing to do with them!
Their side had given the most thorough, explicit instructions possible. Follow orders, and the job was done!
The man in charge from the Gao Lineage smiled and cupped his fists in salute. "Brother Wu, this is where we part ways. I'll... head off first."
"Please, Brother Gao."
With bitterness all over his face, Brother Wu watched the man surnamed Gao stride away with seven or eight others, his emotions written plainly on his face as he sighed repeatedly.
He understood now too. The other man must have received clear instructions, and his lineage must have reached a definite decision.
Taking his people away outright this time, with the two sides going their separate ways, was a signal that could not have been clearer.
It was only out of consideration for their past relationship that the other man had given him such an obvious hint.
This is where we part ways. I'll head off first.
Those few words held truly boundless implications when he pondered them carefully.
Perhaps the next time they met, the two sides would come to blows over Zuo Xiaoduo
