Zhao Changhe sat in the outer hall mainly to avoid the formalities and the tension between the women inside, but he actually also had another purpose for doing so.0

He did not want to be directly in the spotlight, arguing over whether something or someone could be treated or not, and neither did he want to show anyone up. He preferred to wait and observe others’ attempts at treatment or their debates, which would allow him to gather insights and gain more confidence in his own attainments. If he were inside, cornered by someone like Wang Daozhong, it would be difficult for him to avoid confrontation, so it was better to stay outside and maintain a clearer perspective.0

Wang Daozhong probably saw through this and realized that Zhao Change likely did not come here just to celebrate a birthday. He thus intentionally tried to force Zhao Changhe into the spotlight, making it impossible for him to hide.0

Old Wang isn’t foolish, but the price he’ll have to pay for this may end up being quite high, and that’s probably something he hasn’t considered…0

As Zhao Changhe looked at Thunderbolt Sword Ding Ting standing in front of him, he leisurely gnawed on a chicken leg and said leisurely, “You’re at someone else’s banquet, yet you challenge a guest before the host has spoken—this is the Wang Clan’s etiquette, huh. I see…”0

Ding Ting chuckled and replied, “Aren’t you a bandit? You even take pride in being a bandit, so when have you ever cared about etiquette? Are you afraid?”0

Zhao Changhe...0
