Ding Shaoyao fell silent when she spoke up to this point, and then she said, “At this moment, our Ding Clan will definitely be looked down upon if we took the initiative to speak about an alliance with the powers that stand behind him. That would be disadvantageous to our clan in the future. So, if we want to be respected and valued, then we must fully eliminate those sects and truly take control of the entire Ocean of Anarchy! Only then would our Ding Clan gain sufficient respect and authority in the southern territory!” The old man grinned and said, “You always take everything into account. But it would probably be difficult for that fellow, Tang Ye, to reach the central territory without our Ding Clan’s help. Shouldn’t we lend a hand? After all, he’s Mister Xiao’s....” Ding Shaoyao shook her head and said, “Our Ding Clan will help him, but not now. I want him to seek our Ding Clan’s assistance, otherwise, if we were to take the initiative to help him, then he might not feel grateful and think that it’s a matter of course!” The old man thought about it for a moment, and then he nodded and said, “You’re right. That kid should be given a lesson. He actually dared to kick you and cripple Qin Hao in front of us. If we were to take the initiative to help him, then it wouldn’t just be outsiders who would say that our Ding Clan is humiliating itself, even some members of our clan would start talking nonsense!”
