The Yun Family Patriarch had a smile on his face, but his words were dripping with sarcasm.
A vein throbbed on the Huo Clan Leader's forehead, but he forced himself to remain composed, staring at the Yun Family Patriarch with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
"It was all an accident. The elder from my Huo Family who met his end was already injured. Otherwise, how could a mere two outsiders possibly have killed him?"
At this point, all he could do was try to save face.
At the very least, he had to stop the rumors from getting too ugly.
The higher one's status, the more one cared about appearances.
The Yun Family Patriarch didn't expose his lie and returned to the matter of compensation.
In the end, after a war of words, the two finally agreed on a reasonable range.
The Yun Family Patriarch left, satisfied with the compensation.
"Those two Pill Masters from the Outer Realm seem to be talented. We need to find a way to locate them and bring them into the Yun Family."
