To be honest, the combat strength Yun Xiao displayed today truly astonished the Shang Family Head, Shang Yan. With such a ticking time bomb that could go off at any moment, coupled with covetous intentions towards Yun Xiao's secrets, it was impossible for Shang Yan to vocally support Yun Xiao from any perspective.
A kid who was never favored, it would be nothing if he were to be killed. Yun Xiao had no significant background; his mother, Shang Li, was merely in the early stage of the Meridian Gathering Realm, and his father's whereabouts were unknown. Shang Yan was not worried about any repercussions.
Although such actions were extremely despicable, in order to diminish one enemy for the clan, and possibly elevate the clan's status, Shang Yan was willing to abandon all pretense of dignity. Besides, he had never had a good impression of Yun Xiao.
