Shen Xiuyong chuckled inwardly at Qiao Hongyun's reaction, but his face remained impassive. "I've only just broken through, and my Realm has yet to stabilize... What, is Elder Qiao planning to take advantage of my vulnerability? That would be quite a dishonorable victory."
He had deftly turned the accusation of a "dishonorable victory" back on him.
Qiao Hongyun was taken aback. Hearing the two words "dishonorable victory," he let out a short huff.
Chen Qing, watching from the side, thought, 'Junior Martial Uncle Shen is as cunning as they say. With just a few words, he's completely read Elder Qiao's personality and made him hesitant to act.'
"Alright, alright, you two Elders."
Seeing this, Wu Hui stepped in at the right moment, smiling to smooth things over. She raised her teacup in a gesture. "You are both pillars of your Sects, venerable Elders. Why are you acting as impulsively as teenagers? Don't let the younger generation see you make a scene."
