"Lineage Head, this..."
"Just pass on my orders."
"Yes."
"Have all our lineage's children studying at Hidden Dragon High Martial assemble in the main hall."
Some time later.
"Not one of you is to make trouble for Zuo Xiaoduo. At its root, that incident happened because our own people went too far. Whoever provokes first is in the wrong, and deserved to die. All the more so when he died fighting in the Life-and-Death Arena. It was only to be expected. You are not to seek revenge!"
"Furthermore... no one in the Wu Lineage is merely to refrain from troubling him. If the opportunity arises, you might as well make his acquaintance. Understood? Zuo Xiaoduo is an outstanding talent, and his future achievements will know no bounds. Better to befriend him than make an enemy of him. When you speak with him, you may convey my apology as Lineage Head."
"Do your utmost to become close friends with Zuo Xiaoduo. He has only just arrived in Fenghai, so there must be much about this city he doesn't know or understand. Look after him and help him as much as you can! Also... as for the girls in the lineage, if he catches your eye, you might take a little initiative... yes, if we can make Zuo Xiaoduo one of our own, that would be an even greater blessing."
"Does everyone understand the lineage's position?"
"If you understand, you may leave."
This gathering of the Wu Lineage left the young members still studying at Hidden Dragon High Martial as baffled as a ten-foot monk trying to feel the top of his own head.
Had the Lineage Head lost his mind?
He was our sworn enemy! He was the one who killed Yun Tian!
*Not only were we forbidden to seek revenge,
