章 179: Chapter 49 The Way of the Sword

This cold voice rose, surprising many.

Because the speaker was none other than the young lady from the Xu family of Bingzhou, who, after taking her seat, had remained silent till now.

Xu Nianning.

No one expected that Xu Nianning would stand up at this moment.

"Hmm?"

Xie Sheng narrowed his eyes, sizing up the young woman in front of him.

The Xu family from Bingzhou, although not as influential as the Jiangning Xie family... they were still a powerful local force.

This Xu Nianning, he had previously sent out invitations to her, more than once.

All were rejected.

Xie Sheng didn't take it to heart; he knew that, even though the Prince Jiangning's residence showed an "amiable" demeanor to the outside world, not everyone was willing to join this camp.

To step on Xuanyi to rise to power, one had to bear the risk of being disliked.

Only he hadn't expected the Xu family to be one of them.
