Ye Li...
Heavenly Thunder True Cultivator closed his eyes in anguish.
The very thing he least wanted to see had happened after all!
That letter had only reached the Supreme Clarity Palace yesterday.
Today, Ye Li had come to Heavenly Thunder Mountain in person and demanded to see Shen Zhaozhao by name. He clearly wasn't here as a guest!
What should I do...?
Thoughts churned in Heavenly Thunder True Cultivator's mind.
Had it been anything else,
he might have been able to draw on the modest goodwill he had built up with the Supreme Clarity Palace over the years, offer a few gifts, and smooth things over.
But this time was different.
Shen Zhaozhao had taken the initiative to write a letter provoking a True Disciple of the Supreme Clarity Palace.
No matter how one looked at it, Heavenly Thunder Mountain had been in the wrong first.
Bringing up his past contributions now might not help at all. Instead, it could easily look as though he were demanding repayment for past favors!
As for preserving Heavenly Thunder Mountain's dignity...
At that thought, Heavenly Thunder True Cultivator's heart sank even further.
An Ziqing of the Cold Purity Palace was at the peak of the ninth rank of the Heaven-Grasping Realm, a Palace Heir ranked seventh on the Three Continents Prodigy Ranking.
And what had happened to him?
Word had it that Ye Li had beaten him beyond recognition in public just yesterday. In the end, Glass True Cultivator had needed to intervene personally to take him away safely.
Even the Cold Purity Palace hadn't dared pursue the matter.
His Heavenly Thunder Mountain was inferior even to the Cold Purity Palace. What standing did he have to shield Shen Zhaozhao from this disaster?
Unable to come up with any safe solution, however
