Chapter 152: Barbarians in the City

The words echoes in his ears.

"Someone who is charismatic enough to lead" that is the word that Xu Bai said that irks him so much. 

In other words, Xu Bai is insinuating that he is not charismatic enough and that is what the morale of the troops is low.

Then who is charismatic enough

Him? Xu Bai himself?

Qiao Meng couldn't shake the feeling that Xu Bai had chosen this moment to assert his influence and potentially wrest power from the Qiao family within the city. 

It was a thought that grew more convincing the longer he dwelled on it.

In reality, Xu Bai harboured no such intentions. 

But even he himself did not realize that he look down on Qiao Meng. 

This could easily be seen in how he never refer to Qiao Meng as lord. 

True, Qiao Meng and him has been at each other throat since they were young. 

And they refer to each other very casually because of this hatred relationship.
