The crowd fell silent.
Ling Xiao's words, although unpleasant, were not entirely without reason. They themselves were unwilling to stand up for themselves, only hoping that others would stand up for them. Where in this world are things that good?
"Ling Xiao, you'd better not take things too far. True, I'm no match for you, but my father is far stronger than you. If you know what's good for you, you'll chalk up today's events to a misunderstanding. We should mind our own business from here on out. You may come and go on Turtle Island as you please, how about that?"
Ming Liu gradually recovered from his panic. His mind was not dull; fully aware that he was no match for Ling Xiao, and considering that Ling Xiao was the City Lord of Eastern Province, personally appointed by the imperial court, if he wanted to kill him, it really would not be a problem at all.
So instead of standing his ground stubbornly, it might be better to take a step back in order to move forward.
