Duke of Qi clenched his teeth in secret, restraining his impulse to punch Wei Jin to the ground.
He hastily made his salutations and stepped past the man who was about to ascend the stairs.
Wei Jin called out to him, "Duke of Qi, a wise man adapts to circumstances. You should know that there's no possibility of untangling the current situation. If you return to the right path now and pledge loyalty to me, I guarantee that neither you nor your family will be troubled!"
Duke of Qi sneered, "I support King Huan not because he is my nephew but because he truly has a heart for the people. King Rui, for your own selfish gains, for your own power, you would handle the lives of more than fifty innocent people just like that. How can someone like you be the ruler of a nation in the future!"
"If it is indeed you who ascends to that position, that would be a disaster for Yue Country!"
Duke of Qi said these words emphatically before flinging his sleeves and ascending the steps.
