Hou Yuxiao deliberately provoked Duanmu Hong not to seek justice for Zhan Taiqing, but because he had just been infuriated by Zhantai Wuyuan and was in a bad mood. He also intended to create trouble for Sikong Yue, trying to instigate a rift between Duanmu Hong and Sikong Yue.
However, he had clearly underestimated Duanmu Hong's quick wit.
Duanmu Hong stared at him for a long time, seemingly coming to some realization, and suddenly his face broke into a smile as he said, "Master of Hou Family, the Sect Hierarch has shown you no small favor. To turn your back on him so quickly seems inappropriate to me. I'm afraid the one who is really acting improperly is you, Master of Hou Family!"
These words left Hou Yuxiao momentarily at a loss for words.
