"As long as it's not an instant annihilation."
"There will always be noble families to argue on our behalf."
Li Guanyi agreed.
He ordered Wen Lingjun to host a banquet concerning these matters. The other noble families, initially prepared for a fight to the death, relaxed upon realizing that the Qilin Army seemed only to be targeting the Zhou Family.
They all stood with the Heavenly Strategy Mansion, scolding the Zhou Family, and discreetly sending gold, silver, precious gifts, and beautiful singers to Wen He and Wen Lingjun.
Wen Lingjun declined politely.
Wen He returned all the beautiful women, but accepted the gold and silver without hesitation.
After accepting them, he split the profit evenly with the noble family scions.
The noble family scions increasingly regarded Mr. Wen He as a like-minded friend, believing he was merely forced to stand with Li Guanyi, gradually confiding in him, and openly saying, "Mr. Wen He, you are truly a sincere gentleman!"
