Master Fu could sense that Jiang Ning wasn't coming after him.
Since he wasn't a foe, then even if he wasn't a friend, Master Fu didn't have to worry for the time being.
Jiang Ning had been so aggressive and so powerful. He was so strong that Master Fu became a little wary of him. He had lived for so many years and had never felt this way before.
Broken Sword didn't say anything.
All these years, Jiang Ning was the only one who made Master Fu tread so carefully.
"Since he's not from the north, then we still have time," Master Fu sighed. "That wild beast next door has been watching us for many years now."
Broken Sword responded coldly, "They wouldn't dare to set foot in Tianhai!"
"Hoho, they didn't dare in the past because both sides are at an equilibrium. We have someone backing us, they have someone backing them. I have you by my side, and he has highly skilled fighters by his side too. You killed two of his closest brothers, and he has been waiting to take revenge for five years now.”
Master Fu laughed. "But how long more can we remain at this equilibrium?"
"Are you saying that Jiang Ning will tip the balance?"
Master Fu didn't say anymore.
This equilibrium was bound to be broken sooner or later. The state of Tianhai was a huge piece of land along the coast and it was so profitable. Master Fu had controlled this place for more than twenty years and earned so much money for that family, so naturally, many others wanted a piece of it too.
And now the family that backed Master Fu wasn't in a good situation. So those who didn't dare to make a move previously weren't so worried now.
He was most worried that Jiang Ning was here for that reason. But that didn't seem to be the case, at least for the time being.
The pressure in Master Fu's heart was lighter now.
The equilibrium was going to be broken, and the one who would tip the balance would most likely be Jiang Ning. So when that happened, even if Jiang Ning wasn't a foe, those who were enemies of Master Fu for many years would definitely make an aggressive attack.
There would probably be a bloodbath when that happened.
Master Fu didn't speak anymore, and Broken Sword didn't continue asking.
The two of them had known each other for more than thirty years and were willing to sacrifice their life for each other. They wouldn't even frown if they had to die for one another.
