However, I didn’t say anything because your conflict has nothing to do with me. Why should I interfere at this juncture?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Zhang frowned when he heard this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the fight just started, they worried Dongfang Jing and Chen Yi would interfere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, Dongfang Jing was a peak stage golden core realm cultivator. Although his cultivation wasn’t as good as the ancestor, he was a swordsman and could challenge above his realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Xiao family’s main worry was about Chen Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the surface, Chen Yi was an ordinary guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the prominent families knew Chen Yi’s cultivation was higher than the nascent soul realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If such a person stood against, not even the Xiao family could survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Dongfang Jing and Chen Yi chose to stay out of the conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will not interfere in this matter and the Xiao family would be wise to keep me out of it.\" Dongfang Jing said and Xiao Zhang subconsciously trembled in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was my mistake.
