The people from the Sima Family, knowing that Erniu was a cultivator, had tough mouths but were afraid at heart, with none daring to take physical action against him.
Erniu also discerned that everyone present was a bunch of cowards, so he responded with a sneer, "I'm just a farmer, haven't read much, so I really don't know how to write the word 'death.' Why shouldn't I dare to come today? Moreover, I'm already here, so what can your Sima Family do to me?"
Erniu's arrogant words also dispelled the Sima Family's notion that he had come to beg for mercy.
At this moment, Sima Yi had a fierce resolve to kill, thinking that Erniu's showing up was a rare opportunity to do so.
He signaled with his eyes to the bodyguards standing at the conference room door to assassinate Erniu from behind.
But despite his signals, there was no response.
The bodyguards at the door seemed as if they hadn't seen Sima Yi's gestures, which made him unable to contain his anger.
