This was the survival strategy of the great Noble Families, and it couldn't be faulted.
However, Chen Sheng had no regrets about the Ghost Cry Forest incident.
'What's done is done.'
'It was too good an opportunity not to make the Vast Sea Sect pay a price.'
'Otherwise, how could his thoughts ever flow freely?'
Nie Xiangjun said no more.
Some things were best left hinted at.
She knew Chen Sheng was an intelligent man and would understand her hint.
She then continued:
"News of the battle in the Ghost Cry Forest has already spread throughout Yunzhou. Whether it's because they truly won't let you off the hook or simply to save face, the Vast Sea Sect can't possibly do nothing now."
She looked at Chen Sheng, her gaze carrying a hint of warning:
"You must act with caution from now on. There are still two months until the court's Martial Examination. The Vast Sea Sect will definitely try to make a move against you during this time."
