He described the conflict between him and Ling Tianfan as a personal grudge.
This would prevent Ling Tianfan from labeling him guilty.
"What personal grudge?
Li Zhantian, don't try to change your mind here! As the lord of Tianxu City, I am ordering you now to vacate the military camp and let the city guards under your control take off their magic weapons and equipment! Do you obey?
Follow your orders?"
Ling Tianfan said loudly.
He's not stupid either.
Li Zhantian wanted to characterize the nature of this matter as a personal grudge. Chapter completed!
