Hou Qinglai kept them together in one place, preventing anyone with ulterior motives from using them to create trouble and put the blame on Zhu Wencong.

Zhu Wencong glanced at Hou Qinglai leading the way; these old fellows were truly experts in manipulating people, one could say they were cunning.
"Are you worried that those scholars might have a bad influence on you?" Wang Yuejie looked at Zhu Wencong, whose face was filled with displeasure.
