Xu Qing stared at Xu Luo before him, his expression gloomy, his hands tightly wrung.
He had not anticipated that Xu Luo, who hadn't made any progress over the years, would suddenly erupt at this moment!
This turned the mockery and those sworn promises to snatch the privileges from his hands into what seemed like a joke!
He wanted to refute Xu Luo's words, but the reality before him made it impossible to even open his mouth.
Any rebuttal now would carry no weight whatsoever.
With that thought, Xu Qing's complexion soured, and he turned away to leave immediately.
What was there to stay for?
To continue staying here would just be to lose face further!
Seeing this, the direct lineage members quickly changed their attitude, flocking to Xu Yeming to offer their insincere flattery and to curry favor.
"I always knew Xu Qing was no match for you, Brother Xu Luo!"
"Alas, Brother Xu Luo's talent is as outstanding as ever! Given time, you might truly surpass Xu Yuan!"
