Zhuo Jinman's statement left everyone without words to say.
In the Beicheng Continent over the years, the rules have always been strict, and the Elders Council is the foremost among them.
The Zhuo Family's power was overwhelming. Though Zhuo Jinman's explanation seemed a bit far-fetched, it was nonetheless irrefutable.
Since Qin Kuo was a person of the Zhuo Family, naturally he could represent them; on the Jiang Family's side, it became rather difficult to refuse.
The Jiang Family's matriarch frowned. It appeared that Zhuo Jinman came fully prepared, determined to achieve her goal.
She knew that Zhuo Jinman's true intent was not on the surface; Jiang Xi had been unparalleled in medical skills in the past, and Jiang Zhe likely had great potential too. The Zhuo Family wanted to gather all available talents under their banner as soon as possible, for their own use.
This put the Jiang Family's matriarch in a difficult position.
