Jiandan didn't care about their expressions in the slightest. Since they had made this choice, yet still feared what others might say, it was nothing more than self-deception; she was determined to strip away this fig leaf in front of everyone. The Second Elder gathered his breath, then waved his hand to let those concubines—whose fig leaves had just been torn away—support Huangfu Song as they left. Only then did he gaze intently at Jiandan, cup his hands politely, and say: "Elder Jian has just arrived in Jingzhou, and our Huangfu clan naturally welcomes you. There are also one or two people in our clan qualified to ask for guidance from an Immortal Monarch, so you need not make an issue out of this."
Both the Second Elder and the Huangfu family assumed that Jiandan was deliberately picking a fight, and they couldn't figure out how she had managed to persuade Wang Heng of the Sword Sect to back her up. She truly had some skill.
"This is only the beginning."
