Elder Hu noticed Zhang Yan might not attend the banquet, his eyes shifted slightly as he stroked his beard.
Although he had agreed with Chen Qiao Ling to find a way to suppress Zhang Yan, if they did not encounter him at the dinner, he could not be blamed.
He bore no deep hatred towards Zhang Yan; it was only because of those two Divine Light Talisman Shells that he had to make an appearance. If it was settled at the banquet, that would be ideal, but since they might not meet, there was no need to cause extra trouble. Chen Qiao Ling could not fault him for not trying.
However, his disciple's words earlier were still too provocative, and he needed to find a way to salvage the situation, lest they gained nothing but enmity.
