Chapter 40: It Turns Out to Be the Forerunner Senior's Fault

"Why not?" the Longxi Guan Family's ancestor asked displeasedly. "You rise to interrupt before your elder has finished speaking. Is this the kind of unruly and disrespectful upbringing Su Jian has provided?"

Clenching her lower lip, An Zhisu refused to give in, insisting:

"Even if my master truly owes you a favor, it still requires a direct conversation between you two to settle it. If my master doesn't wish for my junior brother to leave and is only preoccupied with his seclusion, does it justify you seizing the opportunity to snatch away his disciple? How should I, as a junior, handle myself? If this were known to all, how would the world view the Longxi Guan Family?"

The Longxi Guan Family's ancestor snorted coldly and said:

"Don't try to provoke me with that."

"You've said it yourself, your Ling Yunpo is exceptionally talented—he's an 'Innate Sword Bone,' do you understand?"

An Zhisu gasped in shock, while Ling Yunpo fell silent, his heart nearly bursting with emotion.
