"The Nie Zhang Branch? What are you doing here? Don't you know you aren't allowed to return after being expelled from the core family unless you're summoned?"
Seeing these two, Nie Qiang's expression darkened.
"Young Master, please don't send us away! We have something to report to the Clan Leader..." the two who entered cried out in unison.
"Hmph. What could a branch that was kicked out of the family possibly have to report? Men, throw them out!" Nie Qiang bellowed.
"Enough. If you have something to say, just say it. The family will certainly see that justice is done for you!" the Great Elder said, cutting Nie Qiang off.
"Yes, yes! Thank you, Great Elder!" The man looked as if he'd been granted amnesty, kowtowing in his excitement.
If anyone had been sharp-eyed enough, they would have noticed that in the instant the man kowtowed, he exchanged a hand signal with Nie Qiang, seemingly indicating that their plan had succeeded.
