Chapter 817: It wasn't really a big deal

Thinking of this, Zhuang Ping let out a cold snort and retorted bitterly.

"Ding Yi, don't think that just because you did this, I'll be endlessly grateful to you and become your lackey to repay you!"

"Of course," Xu Tian sneered, "I have very high standards for taking on lackeys."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Ping's expression became as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.

"My Lord, this must not be done!" Zhou Lao Si said anxiously. "If you let him go, how is that any different from releasing a tiger back into the mountains?"

"My mind is made up; you don't need to say anything more." Xu Tian's attitude was firm.

Zhou Lao Si sighed helplessly and had no choice but to order his subordinates to release the prisoners.

The cell door in front of Zhuang Ping was opened by the jailers of the Azure Wolf Hall, and he walked out cautiously.

After confirming that Xu Tian had no intention of attacking him, he looked toward the other cells.

"You just said you would release my men as well; you won't go back on your word, will you?"

"Of course not." Xu Tian waved his hand at Zhou Lao Si. "Release them all."

Zhou Lao Si was helpless and could only comply.

The members of the Thunder Hall had been shouting fiercely while locked in their cells, but now that they were released, they stood silently behind Zhuang Ping like quails, not daring to make a sound.

"Ding Yi, are you sure you want to let us go?" Zhuang Ping always felt uneasy in his heart, so even after being released from the cell, he did not rashly leave the dungeon.

"If you don't want to leave, you can stay, but since there are so many of you, I won't be providing meals." Xu Tian spread his hands with an indifferent attitude.

"Fine! I believe you!" The suspicion in Zhuang Ping's eyes gradually dissipated. "I thank you on behalf of my men for not killing them, but the grudge between us cannot be wiped clean. One day, I will still come looking for you to take back all the humiliation of the past!"

"You ungrateful thing! Why aren't you rolling away yet?" The Fifth Elder roared impatiently.

The Wolf King had released the people from the Thunder Hall, and he had already been seething with anger.

Now that these people were still dawdling and refusing to leave, if they didn't want to leave, then they shouldn't leave at all!

Zhuang Ping ignored the Fifth Elder. He first took a deep look at Xu Tian, then turned and led his Thunder Hall subordinates out of the dungeon.

Sure enough, the path was unobstructed; there were no traps, and no one blocked them.

Five minutes later, Zhuang Ping and his men had all left the Azure Wolf Hall.

The Fifth

Elder said to Xu Tian with deep concern: "My Lord, this brat will definitely not let this go. Releasing them means that as soon as they find an opportunity, they will surely come back for revenge..."

"These people are not worth fearing," Xu Tian said calmly. "Or do you think I can't even handle such small fry?"

"Your subordinate didn't mean that..." The Fifth Elder's face changed several times, and he finally swallowed the words he wanted to say.

Although he did not approve of letting Zhuang Ping and the others go, he had to admit that what Xu Tian said made sense.

As long as the Wolf King had returned, they had nothing to fear.

A mere Zhuang Ping simply had no qualifications to become an opponent of Lord Wolf King.

If they were willing to behave themselves after returning this time, that would be that; if they still refused to give up and wanted to come back for revenge, then given the Wolf King's personality, he certainly wouldn't let them off again like he did today.

"My Lord, your subordinate has some words, but I don't know if I should speak them," Zhou Lao Si asked respectfully.

"Speak," Xu Tian said.

"Why didn't you kill Zhuang Ping?" Zhou Lao Si asked.

Xu Tian rubbed his nose.

He and Zhuang Ping had no grudges; why did he have to kill him?

But he was currently wearing the identity of the Wolf King, so naturally, he couldn't answer like that.

Thus, he feigned profundity and said.

"I have my own plans; you don't need to worry about this matter."

Zhou Lao Si was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something and slapped his forehead.

"It is your subordinate who is short-sighted and failed to grasp your meaning, My Lord!"

"I knew you wouldn't let them off easily, My Lord!"

Xu Tian's mouth twitched.

What on earth had this Zhou Lao Si taken today?

It was one thing for him to take the initiative to admit his mistakes, but now he was actually starting to fawn and flatter.

Clearly, among the several elders, this old guy was the most scheming; seeing him so respectful now really made one unable to stand it.

Could it be that he had other motives?

Xu Tian became alert in his heart. The more respectful these people were to him, the less he could afford to let his guard down; perhaps these were all methods they were using to test him.

However, Xu Tian vaguely felt that the change in the attitude of these high-level members was related to what happened after he got drunk.

But he couldn't openly ask Zhong Ling or Zhong Yu what happened during the time he was drunk, and he certainly couldn't ask Zhuang Ping about the grievances between the Thunder Hall and the Azure Wolf Hall.

After pondering for a while, Xu Tian decided to ignore Zhuang Ping's matter for the time being; at the very least, the other party shouldn't come looking for trouble in the near future.

Just as he left the dungeon, his mobile phone rang.

Xu Tian took out his phone and glanced at it, discovering it was a call from Yun Shuying.

He got a headache just thinking about this woman now, so he hung up the phone without even thinking.

If it weren't for her wanting to earn a double commission, he wouldn't have been poisoned; she really was a menace!

But Yun Shuying persistently called again, with the posture of not giving up unless Xu Tian answered.

When she called for the fourth time, Xu Tian pressed the answer button.

"Hello? If you have something to say, say it quickly," Xu Tian asked coldly.

"Is Boss Xu in a bad mood?" The woman on the other end of the phone seemed to be in a very good mood; even the tone of her voice was light.

"What do you think?" Xu Tian retorted.

Being set up like this, it would be strange if he were in a good mood.

"I think it should be alright, right?" Yun Shuying laughed it off and didn't continue the topic. "Boss Xu, I have something to find you for. It's at the same place where we had tea last time; hurry up and come over!"

She didn't even give Xu Tian a chance to speak and hung up the phone directly.

Xu Tian:...

It had been a long time since he had been this speechless.

The last time seemed to be when Yun Shuying wanted him to impersonate Yun Moting's father...

He put away his phone, returned to the office upstairs, accompanied Qing Xue and Shen Long for a while, and had the zookeeper send over some meat bones. Watching them finish eating, he then slowly went downstairs to the parking lot to get his car.

Yun Shuying in the tea house had fallen asleep on the table. When Xu Tian entered, she was quietly wiping away the drool remaining on her chin.

"Boss Xu, you are too slow!" The woman, who looked elegant and noble but whose behavior was the exact opposite, complained with a resentful face.

"Sorry, I've been very busy lately." Xu Tian sat opposite Yun Shuying with a cold face. "I'll give you five minutes; if you have something to say, say it quickly."

Yun Shuying was slightly stunned upon hearing this; no matter how slow she was, she could hear the displeasure in Xu Tian's words.

"Boss Xu, who made you angry?"

"No one made me angry." Xu Tian picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup, and unhurriedly took a sip. "It's just that someone wanted to earn a double commission and caused me to be poisoned; it's not really a big deal." ===== CHAPTER 818 =====

"No one provoked me." Xu Tian picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup, and unhurriedly lifted it to take a sip. "It's just that someone wanted to earn a double commission and ended up poisoning me; it's not really a big deal."
