Xu Yang smiled. "I wouldn't dare lie. The three leaders of Qingfeng Stronghold were indeed formidable, but I used contribution points to hire a senior brother who had achieved Gang Qi Great Success. He completely uprooted Qingfeng Stronghold.
"If Steward Xiao doesn't believe me, you can ask the Yuan Family Patriarch for confirmation. The heads of Qingfeng Stronghold's three leaders are still at the Yuan Estate."
What?!
'He hired a disciple who's reached Gang Qi Great Success to help?'
Xiao Hua's expression stiffened, and he froze on the spot.
'How could I not have considered that he could hire help? This has completely backfired. Now I've just let Xu Yang look good in front of Elder Li Yang.'
'Little bastard, you got lucky!'
Xiao Hua cursed himself for the oversight. 'It seems I can't rely on schemes to kill Xu Yang. I'll have to do it myself.'
'There are too many variables when trying to kill him through missions.'
