"Yeah, places that are too lively really get on my nerves, so I wanted to find a secluded spot to settle down."
"Don't worry about it," Liu Zongyuan said. "What are we, strangers? Rest easy. Since you've claimed this place, I'll go back and put in a word. Then this land, this village, will be yours. No one will be able to say a thing."
"And it's only right. Didn't you burn that entire nest of the White Lotus Sect to death with a single fire? Since you killed them, it's only fair that their land becomes yours."
Although Liu Zongyuan seemed to be trying to do Li Huowang a favor, his words sounded rather grating to Li Huowang's ears.
Liu Zongyuan glanced carefully at the doorway, leaned his body ever so slightly toward Li Huowang, and deliberately lowered his voice. "Hey, have you heard about that incident in the Capital City? The mood in the Bureau is really unsettled right now."
"Yeah, I heard. It seems the Sitting Oblivion Path set us up."
