Chapter 262: Alliance Matters: Building a City

Jiang Daoxuan paid no heed and said casually, "When he left that day, he had already paid the proper price; no need for such words..."

From start to finish, he never regarded Xu Gu as anything more than a minor player.

The words fell silent.

Xu Gu immediately exhaled a breath of relief.

He was now more afraid than he had ever been in his life.

At that moment, Zhang Cang shook his head.

He took out a space ring filled with supplies and placed it on the ground.

"That's true, but Xu Gu is ultimately an official of Qingshan Sect; in his past ignorance, he dared to speak recklessly before Elder Jiang, offending you—so I now represent Qingshan Sect in offering you our apologies..."

Jiang Daoxuan smiled: "Your Qingshan Sect is rather interesting. Very well, I accept your gesture."

Hearing this, Zhang Cang's brow relaxed.

After all, these apologies were not merely for Xu Gu's sake.

They were also to improve your perception of our sect.

At that moment, Jiang Daoxuan's voice sounded again.

"Then what is your true purpose in coming here? You've gone to such lengths—surely it's not just for this trivial matter?"

Zhang Cang bowed slightly: "It's hard to hide anything from Elder Jiang—you're right, the sect master did give me additional instructions for this trip."

With that, he turned his head slightly and gave Xu Gu a sharp glance: "Wait outside."
