Chapter 82: Worldly Affairs and Advancement in Cultivation

```

"My lord, this is all slander from Sun Ding and his group. Ever since Sun Ding lost to you last time, he's been speaking ill of you in front of the officers from Group Two. Shall we deal with him?"

Officer Liu Yuan from Group Four stood by Shen Qing's side, speaking with great indignation.

Ji Youwu and Wang Shouyuan, who were beside them, also joined in with some righteous anger.

Shen Qing glanced at them, feeling a sense of emotion in his heart. The change in people's minds was truly subtle.

He let out a slight laugh and countered, "How do you plan to 'deal with him'? As far as I know, Sun Ding's cultivation is in the Qi Hai Realm, which is a whole Great Realm above yours."

Liu Yuan couldn't help but pause, his expression faltering.

Weren't subordinates supposed to show loyalty and superiors protect their subordinates in theatrical plays? How come the person in front didn't follow the conventional rules?
