Yet instead of backing down, anger twisted the expressions of the young masters.
Yong Heng snarled, "Who are you to interfere with us? And for goblins of all things?"
Qing Kuanshu spat on the ground. "Move aside. These creatures are pests. We are doing everyone a favor by chasing them off."
Lin Mu let out a quiet breath. "Behave. The sins of their ancestors are not theirs to bear."
The goblins blinked.
They looked at Lin Mu with stunned expressions, as if they were not sure they had heard correctly. It was the first time in their entire lives that a human had spoken on their behalf in public.
But the young masters were far from placated.
Qing Kuanshu straightened his spine and puffed out his chest, attempting dignity despite the aura pressing on him.
"Remember our names then. I am Qing Kuanshu, son of Captain Qing, commander of the Outpost's Third Guard Division."
