Situ Xing sat at the head seat, lowered his head and eyebrows, immersed in deep thought.
Yan Linglong's words had touched the deepest part of his heart.
Ever since Ning Zhuo acted high-profile, obtained the Stone Token, and rapidly gained fame through the Three Questions of the Heart at the Evil Slaying Hall, Situ Xing felt like there was a thorn in his back, a fishbone stuck in his throat.
He was a privileged offspring of the Situ Family, detected to have innate talent and received strong support from the family to cultivate him as a successor.
Therefore, he possessed not only combat power and cultivation level but also notable political acumen.
Ning Zhuo's high-profile behavior immediately made Situ Xing feel that his power and status were under great threat.
Shen Xi and Lin Jinglong were both without innate talent, and had interactions early on, so they were well understood. To Situ Xing, choosing to partner with these two was relatively safe.
Ning Zhuo was not like this.
