This man was one of the men who had just been standing in the study.
Named Li Pei.
He had not expected that Yan Niang, who usually seemed coquettish, would change her presence so dramatically once she took the stage, and her speech indeed somewhat shook them.
Especially since she lied without a hint of blushing.
The old Guild Leader clearly died because of your conspiracy, yet you righteously claimed it was by Chen Yi's hand.
He actually did not advise taking action against Chen Yi and did not understand why Yan Niang would say that the old Guild Leader died at Chen Yi's hand. They hadn't gone over this script before taking the stage.
Before his death, the old Guild Leader had even signed a peace treaty with Chen Yi.
Though the contract was currently invalid.
But at least it showed that the old Guild Leader had established some sort of cooperative relationship with Chen Yi. If they steadied themselves and then approached Chen Yi, he presumably would not refuse.
