Seeing the state of the Jin Sect elders, Jin Ling felt a twinge of worry. Lan Sizhui, standing beside him, patted his shoulder and shook his head, signaling him to let it be.
The two sides remained locked in a stalemate. As for Wei Wuxian, it went without saying that he would never compromise, yet the Jin Sect elders were unwilling to be so easily manipulated by him. The Lanling Jin Sect was descended from royalty and had always ranked among the cultivation sects, far surpassing the Yunmeng Jiang Clan and the Qinghe Nie Clan in power. Yet lately, they had grown increasingly inferior, and now they barely managed to squeak into the Four Great Clans thanks to the support of the other sects. How could the habitually proud and arrogant Jin Sect elders ever reconcile themselves to being threatened by a junior like Wei Wuxian!
"You needn't work yourselves into a lather, gentlemen," Wei Wuxian said. "Jiang Cheng and I are only here concerning Jin Ling's affairs; I have no desire to meddle in any other business of the Lanling Jin Sect. As long as you don't give Jin Ling a hard time, I wouldn't set foot in Jinlin Tai for all the tea in China."
