章 409: Entering the Ridge

Guan Zhengyuan was livid when he left the Ridge Council meeting. A middle aged man drew up to his side from behind and spoke with regret, "Zhengyuan, I tried!" This middle aged man was the super alchemist that Ye Chong encountered earlier.

Guang Zhengyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Yan, please. The kid's life would've been forfeit if it wasn't for you. I haven't even thanked you for that."

The middle aged man's cold face mimicked his bitter expression. "Don't worry about that. We've grown up together, and I've always thought of Ling as a sister. I feel so guilty, now that I failed to ensure her student's safe passage into the Ridge."

Guan Yuanzheng seemed to remember his sister's mean antics, and could not help but smile on his face. "My dear sister, I wonder how she's doing these days. If it wasn't for the Shi Family this time …" The thought of the Shi Family brought down his mood once again, and his eyes burned with the fire of anger.
