Chapter 642: Chapter 638: Game of Strategy

The tense atmosphere in the tent spiked as the two family spokesmen clashed. Three martial ancestors from the Mi Clan have released their vigor, and Xiao Qi, unwilling to concede, stood up in response. Only Xiao Zheng, caught in the middle with a helpless look on his face, tightly held the armrests, fighting hard to keep his body from trembling.

As the negotiation seemed on the verge of turning into a martial skirmish, an irate elder sternly warned, “Is this how you dare to conduct yourselves in my presence!?”

The one who spoke belonged to the Mi Clan’s second elder, but he wasn’t directing his words at Xiao Qi’s party. Instead, he was glaring at the three martial ancestors brought by another member of the Mi Clan.

The three martial adepts who had just unleashed their vigor suddenly froze upon the elder’s reprimand. Their gathered aura dissipated, but the elder remained unsatisfied, glaring as he commanded, “Has the head of the Xiao Clan failed to provide you with chairs? Sit down!”

Being so publicly scolded was humiliating for these powerful martial ancestors, but they knew they couldn’t retaliate against the elder’s reprimands.

Those chosen as elders are greatly respected within the clan. Moreover, before becoming an elder, this man was the chief instructor of the Mi Clan’s martial artists, including these martial ancestors, who were personally trained by him. Their conditioning compelled them to sit in submission, even in the face of the clan leader.

Moreover, they had launched their displays of vigour without being ordered to, and another member of the Mi Clan’s silence only depleted their will even further. So, they reluctantly sat down.

Seeing the three of them sit down, the riled-up elder finally let go of his anger and turned to Xiao Jinlin with a regretful expression, saying, “I apologize for the youthful exuberance of our clan’s junior members. Second son, please lower your aura.”

Three towering martial ancestors, still in their prime at nearly fifty, were ironically being called young men. A hint of embarrassment flashed across their faces, quickly replaced by helplessness.
