648 The Division of the Camp
He bullied the weak and feared the strong. If he were to talk about how powerful he was, most of it would be just empty boasts.
He only became a lord because he was related to the royal family. Otherwise, he would not even be able to become a guardian.
He turned around and glanced at Shang Ningyi, gesturing for him to speak.
Shang Ningyi did not say anything. He glanced at another lord, who immediately stood up.
!!
“Lord Qian sure is putting on airs. We have so many lords here, but he’s not coming out to welcome us?”
Yan Jin did not say anything and looked at him.
“What are you staring at? Hurry up and call Lord Qian here!” that lord shouted when he saw that no one was paying attention to him.
“Pfft!”
Gong Cheng, who had been angry, could not help but laugh when he heard this.
“Excuse me, did someone send you here to have fun? Do you know what this place is?” he asked as he pointed his index finger at the ground.
That lord could not react momentarily and asked, “What place?”
“Shut—”
This idiotic lord incensed Shang Ningyi. He was about to speak when Gong Cheng interrupted him.
“This is a new camp. Have you ever seen a lord construct his camp himself? Did you leave your brain at home? Or did you previously bring people to build your camp yourself? I didn’t expect you to be so amiable despite your snobbish appearance.”
“You—”
The lord was furious and pointed at Gong Cheng.
He wanted to beat Gong Cheng up to vent his anger but dared not to when he saw Yan Jin standing beside Gong Cheng. After all, he could not defeat Yan Jin.
“Just wait!”
He stepped around on the spot and glanced at Shang Ningyi. After taking a deep breath, he flicked his sleeves and retreated.
He had better not catch Gong Cheng alone, or he would teach him a lesson. How dare he embarrass him in public? He could not take this lying down.
“Yan Jin, go and bring Qian Jiyun here. Everyone chased the Auspicious Cloud Sea-Devouring Python away together. This land belongs to everyone. He can’t monopolize it.”
“Are you talking about the division of the camp?” Yan Jin looked at Shang Ningyi and smiled.
“My master has already given me instructions regarding this. If you wish to send people from your camp to occupy a corner here, my master has no objections.”
“That’s right, Lord Shang. Look over there. I’ve already left a large empty space for you. If you want to send people here, come. We won’t reject anyone.”
Gong Cheng nodded repeatedly and smiled at Shang Ningyi.
How could they politely reject something that was given to them for free? They had to accept it!
“When the time comes, we’ll live in the same camp together. We can chat when we have nothing to do and kill some time,” he added.
“You, you…”
Lord Tang’s face flushed red with anger as he pointed his right index finger at Gong Cheng.
What a good plan Qian Jiyun has! He wants to reach out to our people and bribe them, right?
Shang Ningyi was not angry at all. Instead, he turned around and persuaded Lord Tang.
“Why are you angry, Lord Tang? How can we reject Lord Qian’s good intentions?”
