The battle was imminent, and no one expected soone to suddenly appear and intervene at this mont.
Everyone looked towards the sound, and upon seeing the newcor clearly, their expressions froze.
The person was unexpectedly Jiang Dongcheng, along with his daughter Jiang Xin.
As the city mayor, Jiang Dongcheng was naturally well-known by everyone, but no one anticipated his appearance at this ti.
With his appearance, naturally the fight would not happen, as injuring Jiang Dongcheng would lead to great trouble.
Jiang Dongcheng imdiately walked up to Zhou Yu and the others.
Zhou Yu dispersed the Earth Desolation power in his body and then nodded slightly.
"Uncle Jiang."
Jiang Dongcheng furrowed his brows and glared at Zhou Yu.
He then whispered:
"Are you crazy?"
"Challenging so many people alone."
Zhou Yu sighed and said.
"Uncle Jiang, you’re wronging here. They’re the ones who wanted to attack , not provoking them."
Beside them, Jiang Xin looked at Zhou Yu with suspicion.
"Humph, only a fool would believe you."
"..."
Zhou Yu was speechless.
At this point, Long Yi also retreated, returning to Ni Chao’s side.
Guo Tao and Wu Changjiang each retreated as well.
Jiang Dongcheng glanced around the scene and then spoke to Ni Chao:
"Master Ni, I heard you’re about to participate in the Alchemy Grandmaster’s assessnt."
"I wish you success in the assessnt in advance."
Being treated so courteously, Ni Chao naturally reciprocated.
He imdiately thanked him.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Dongcheng sighed and said:
"Master Ni, I’ve roughly understood the situation here."
"I know about the conflict between you and Zhou Yu."
"However, I must remind you, Master Ni, that you’re now representing the Dan Pavilion, while Zhou Yu is now the Martial Pavilion Minister."
"Regardless, you shouldn’t join forces with outsiders to deal with Zhou Yu here."
"This matter has already violated taboos."
Jiang Dongcheng deliberately glanced at Wu Desen and Nakamura Nan.
Upon hearing this, Ni Chao’s expression slightly changed, but quickly returned to calm, saying:
"Mr. Jiang, you exaggerate."
"Minister Zhou is a young genius; we’ve heard of his na long ago, and today is a chance for a friendly spar, so my guard Long Yi couldn’t help but take action."
"Since it’s a spar, naturally it should end lightly."
"Even if Mr. Jiang hadn’t shown up just now, I would have stopped it."
These words were obviously nonsense.
Jiang Dongcheng could see through it easily.
However, he wouldn’t expose Ni Chao.
Jiang Dongcheng rely nodded.
"Since it’s a spar, let it end here."
"If there’s nothing further, everyone should disperse."
"The commotion here has already caused quite a stir and must end imdiately."
Upon hearing this, Ni Chao squinted, glancing at Zhou Yu.
"Kid, you’re really lucky."
"However, that ’Sky Wood Root,’ forget about it."
Ni Chao shook the dicine box in his hand, then coldly chuckled and turned to leave.
After Ni Chao left, Fan Tianlei, Waldson, and others naturally found no reason to stay.
After greeting Jiang Dongcheng, everyone departed.
Soon, only Jiang Dongcheng, Jiang Xin, Zhou Yu, Guo Tao, and Long Teng remained.
The conflict was thoroughly resolved with Jiang Dongcheng’s appearance.
However, the Red Star Chamber was left in tatters.
Long Teng didn’t dare ask Zhou Yu or Jiang Dongcheng for compensation, and in the end, he could only consider himself unlucky and find ways to handle the aftermath.
Guo Tao ca to Jiang Dongcheng and politely said:
"Mr. Jiang, it’s really fortunate you showed up in ti today."
"Otherwise, I really wouldn’t know how to wrap up things."
Jiang Dongcheng glared at Zhou Yu.
"This kid is now drawing too much attention."
"Could you be more discreet in the future?"
"Once you’ve established yourself, it won’t matter how you act."
Jiang Dongcheng clearly spoke with an elder’s tone to lecture Zhou Yu, and Guo Tao naturally found it hard to join the discussion.
Zhou Yu smiled wryly.
"Uncle Jiang, I’ve been really courteous."
"If this were in Qin State, I’d have visited Ni Chao’s house three tis already."
"..." Jiang Dongcheng was speechless.
Seeing her father’s unsuccessful persuasion, Jiang Xin couldn’t hold back.
She angrily approached Zhou Yu and said:
"There’s a saying, not listening to the elderly will bring misfortune."
"You’ve only been here for how long, can’t you take advice?"
"These forces are far more complex than they seem on the surface. You’ve offended them too thoroughly. They will strike at you sooner or later. What if one day my dad can’t arrive in ti?"
Although Jiang Xin’s tone wasn’t kind, Zhou Yu could tell she was genuinely concerned for him.
Zhou Yu had no choice but to bow his head and admit fault.
Seeing Zhou Yu’s attitude, Jiang Xin finally let him off temporarily.
Suddenly, Jiang Dongcheng spoke:
"Zhou Yu, are you planning to participate in the Alchemy Grandmaster assessnt?"
Zhou Yu nodded.
"Yes."
"What’s wrong?"
Jiang Dongcheng’s expression grew solemn, saying:
"Zhou Yu, this isn’t a minor matter. You’ve already caused a lot of trouble in the few days you’ve been in Hu City. I suggest you better not participate in this assessnt."
"To avoid stirring more issues."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu shook his head.
"Uncle Jiang, you might be wrong here."
"The so-called troubles exist whether I provoke them or not; they won’t disappear just because I hide."
"On the contrary, my proactive approach is the only way to expose those plotting against sooner."
"But... doing this is dangerous." Jiang Dongcheng frowned.
Zhou Yu smiled faintly.
"Uncle Jiang, not doing this is more dangerous."
"Because for those people in the shadows, if there’s no opportunity out in the open, they’d prepare for covert attacks."
"Didn’t the sa fate befall my predecessors despite their hiding?"
"Therefore, I have to give them the opportunity."
"Besides, earning a title like Alchemy Grandmaster would help establish myself more quickly here."
