Lin Zhongtian breathed a sigh of relief and placed the antidote on a nearby shelf. Who in the Martial Arts Alliance didn't know about his conflict with Xu Ke yesterday? If they found out how obsequious he was being toward Xu Ke now, he would completely disgrace the title of Long Capital Elder. Outside the office, Yuan Shang, who was pretending to just be passing by, stifled a laugh as he slowly walked away.
After handing the antidote to Lin Zhongtian, Xu Ke and Wang Wu sat down and began to brew tea as if they owned the place. Seeing Xu Ke select his favorite and most expensive tea leaves, Lin Zhongtian's expression was one of visible anguish. He was usually the one dishing out this sort of arrogant, robbery-like treatment. He never imagined that today, the tables would be turned on him by Xu Ke.
"What were they here for?" Xu Ke asked, having only poured tea for himself and Wang Wu.
