You Honglang was shocked. "That's the Secret Treasure passed down through the You Family… They truly haven't given up their wicked ambitions!"
You Longji waved his hand, his tone firm. "It matters not. The innocent have nothing to hide. For decades, our You Family has abided by the law and never overstepped our bounds. Besides, after so many years, our foundation is not as fragile as they imagine. This negotiation led by the Three Great Sects is a perfect opportunity. I can explain everything to them face-to-face and put an end to this old grudge once and for all."
You Honglang looked at his father, his eyes still filled with worry. "But, Father…"
You Longji cut him off. "Rest assured, reason is on our side. The Three Great Sects aren't completely unreasonable. As long as the evidence is conclusive and proves the Shadow Prison Sect framed us, they won't let the Demon Sect stir up trouble."
