章 422: Primal Chaos Assessment

Right after Xia Fei left the reception hall, the elders surrounded Qingliu and began to question him. All of them were senior figures of the Guild of the Wise, a group of stubborn old pedants who had considerable status in their faction.

"Qingliu, how could you agree to work with a human just like that? Giving him independence will pose a huge threat to us."

"That's right! What if he leaks information about us? Uti will be furious! It won't be just us; all our families will suffer, too!"

"He's a human, not a member of our race. No matter what, there's no way I can trust a human!"

Qingliu furrowed his brows, apparently annoyed by these stubborn old fools. He then made a self-mocking laugh and shook his head. "It's precisely because of you and all your needless fears that the Guild of the Wise has never been able to become anything. I now understand why the Sacred Guild is deeply trusted by the insectoids while we grow weaker by the day."
