Maybe he could handle this himself, without Guo Wei's help.
However, true deterrence required absolute, overwhelming power—not just evenly matched strength.
At the moment, he wasn't strong enough.
So, after a moment of thought, Chu Lingguang said apologetically, "Master Qu, my master's position is a sensitive one. He cannot get involved in this matter."
"This..."
Qu Qingcheng hadn't expected this, and a look of disappointment crossed his face. He seemed to have been certain that Chu Lingguang could get Guo Wei to help, never imagining Chu Lingguang would refuse without even asking.
Chu Lingguang saw the dejection in Qu Qingcheng's eyes, and the other leaders of the Shuiyu Gang looked equally disappointed.
"Young Master Chu, Mo Shan has told me about your character. If you say you can't do it, then I suppose it truly can't be done."
Qu Qingcheng said with a stiff smile.
Chu Lingguang felt a pang of guilt.
