"With me..." Qu Jianlei nearly choked with anger. "That's your reason for setting your sights on Lianxing World?"
"Of course I have other reasons," Baiqiao seemed to have grown addicted to debating everyone at once. "I can bring out the sect's resources to cooperate!"
"That's also why I never planned to take part personally. For one, I was afraid you'd beat me up, and for another... I really am quite poor!"
"You just said your sect was poor too, and that income from the Otherworld wasn't high!" Han Li seized on his words and refused to let go. "Have you no shame?"
Baiqiao simply did not answer him, acting as though he had not heard.
Qu Jianlei's expression turned a little odd. "You mean the internal records of Lingyun... don't have even the slightest clue?"
"Tsk." Baiqiao smacked his lips, thought for a moment, then answered, "It's said Lianxing World sought help from multiple Great Monarchs, right?"
"Since it was completely useless, and even Mysterious Venerable could only do a divination, how much use do you think the sect's records could be?"
"Can you stop speaking in rhetorical questions all the time?" Qu Jianlei truly disliked this way of communicating.
"I just want to ask one thing. Does Lingyun have any relevant records or not... You only need to answer me: yes or no!"
"No!" Baiqiao answered without the slightest hesitation.
After a pause, he spoke again. "There are some scattered materials, but they aren't systematic and don't have much value. I'm worried they'll mislead you."
"That thick skin of yours..." Han Li pointed at him, both annoyed and amused. "Couldn't you have just said no?"
"There might really be some," Jin Ge said, managing to maintain a fair attitude. "Lingyun has deep foundations."
"But they're meaningless," Baiqiao said solemnly.
