Engulfed in Black Smoke

The thought of witnessing that and seeing Qian Jiyun vomit blood from anger in the future brought him immense joy, and he could not help but burst into laughter.

His laughter caused the lords to roll their eyes immediately.

It was not that they could not stand Lord Tang, but they no longer trusted Shang Ningyi's words. Hence, they stood up and prepared to leave.

"Since there's nothing else at the moment, then Lord Shang and my fellow lords, we'll take our leave. You can inform us when there is any news."

A few lords stood up, cupped their fists at Shang Ningyi and the others, and turned to leave.

"These people sure dampen the mood!" Lord Tang glared at their backs angrily.

When the lords were outside, they looked at each other and sighed.

One of them could not help but ask himself and the others, "Why are we even targeting Lord Qian?"
