Startled by Murong Xiande's sudden shout, Murong Guanshan felt his heart skip a beat, a wave of unease washing over him. Yet, he stubbornly stiffened his neck and retorted loudly, "Patriarch, even so, our Murong Family is currently facing threats from the Zhou Family, and this situation was undeniably brought on by him! How do you explain that?"
Murong Xiande frowned slightly, his expression as stern as a frost-covered landscape, and said in a deep voice, "Hmph, the Zhou Family has long harbored malicious intentions and coveted our Murong Family. Young friend Xuanyuan is merely an excuse they are using to pick a fight. If we were truly so devoid of loyalty as to cast young friend Xuanyuan aside, who in the entire Southern Domain would ever dare to befriend our Murong Family in the future? What would happen to the reputation of our Murong Family as the foremost clan in the Southern Domain?"
Listening quietly to Murong Xiande's words, Xuanyuan Chen felt a surge of profound gratitude well up in his heart. He respectfully bowed deeply to Murong Xiande and said earnestly, "Thank you, Senior, for your trust. This junior will certainly give his all and will never let down Senior Murong's great kindness. Senior Murong has been a benefactor to me; it is only right that I share weal and woe with the Murong Family and weather these difficult times together."
