He wasn't a lone wolf and knew the importance of connections, so he naturally wouldn't object.
Everyone sat down again.
Qiao Hongyun poured fragrant tea for Chen Qing and Shen Xiuyong.
Afterward, the group began to chat idly. Their conversation naturally revolved around the recent happenings in Celestial Treasure City.
Shang Lujing took a sip of tea and said, "I heard that yesterday at the West Garden of Guest Welcoming Peak, people from the Chixiao Sword Sect and Black Water Pool nearly came to blows over some old grudges. In the end, a Steward from the Celestial Treasure Upper Sect had to step in and put a stop to it. He punished both sides equally, warning them that any more trouble would result in their disqualification from the selection."
Wang Bo sneered. "Those guys from the Chixiao Sword Sect have always been arrogant, and the people from Black Water Pool are notoriously sinister and ruthless. It'd be strange if they *didn't* cause trouble when they met."
