The crowd around immediately realized there was indeed some grudge between Lin Chang'sheng and the Dugu Siblings.
On the high seat, a burly man dressed in brocade stood up slowly.
"I suppose there must be some misunderstanding between you two. As the saying goes, one doesn't know another until after a fight—count it as fate. For my sake, how about letting bygones be bygones?"
The burly man spoke with a smile; clearly, he had no wish to offend anyone.
After all, what they were about to do was far more important than a mere quarrel; it was best to maintain good relations with everyone here.
Hou Kui seemed to carry considerable weight in the eyes of the crowd; at his words, the hostility in Dugu Yan's gaze diminished somewhat.
No one knew if she was suppressing it for now, or simply plotting something else.
"Since Uncle Hou has spoken, of course we'll listen!"
Dugu Yan replied.
She knew she was no match for Lin Chang'sheng right now; she'd bide her time for revenge later.
