Han Wen maintained his smile: "Sect Leader Lu, this is not the place for discussion. I came alone, showing utmost sincerity, why not trust me once?"
Lu Qian nodded and asked his disciples to escort Han Wen to the guest hall. He stayed behind to exchange a few words with Zhou Chao and other Shuangye Alliance allies, as well as Sect Leaders Xuu Yingcai and Chen Wei from the vassal families, thanking them for their support and requesting them to stay a while longer as a precaution.
He then instructed all the Elders to settle the disciples and prepare for any contingencies, after which he headed to the guest hall with Guh Niqiang.
Jiang Qingfeng, Tan Hong, and others were uneasy and wanted to follow, but Lu Qian stopped them. Seeing how determined they were, Lu Qian had no choice but to let them guard the entrance.
