A few others at the scene wanted to follow suit, eager to flatter and curry favor with Ji Jiang.
But Ji Jiang promptly stopped them and said loudly, "Everyone, let's discuss the main business first!"
"Looking forward to it!" Xue Jin couldn't stand the extremely hypocritical flattery and wanted to get to the point.
Ji Jiang glanced at Xue Jin intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "Actually, this task is very simple. It's all about Empress Pei Anqi of the Great Luo Royal Family; the rest of her royal family is irrelevant!"
"Empress of the Great Luo?" Fang Chaohai mused, "Does Young Master Ji Jiang have a great feud with her?"
"No!" Ji Jiang shook his head and said, "Not only do I have no grudge against her, but she is also the dao companion I've chosen. So, when you act, don't harm her, just force her into a desperate situation!"
"This..."
Everyone exchanged glances, seemingly understanding some of the inside story.
