Chapter 378: Restrained Beast

The blood-curdling cries and the sight of Yang Qingshi standing there with his gnarly pet beast blocking his way sent chills down Lord Zhou's spine. 

How could he not know how grave the situation he had found himself in was.

To think Yang Qingshi would turn on a friend so readily. He didn't even give them a single warning for crying out loud.

It was all the more reason for Lord Zhou to put up an act because he knew pretty well what consequences awaited him if he were to fall out with Yang Qingshi at this moment. If they did end up clashing swords, there was no guarantee that he would walk away with anything.

"Appraiser Yang, yo...w-what are you doing?" As expected of a politician. To be able to keep a straight face while being knee-deep in this situation was no easy feat. 

The faces of the people behind him were already as pale as a sheet while the legs of those who were less courageous started to quiver.
