After hearing Lu Qing's words, Wang Ye fell silent once more.
His scrutinizing gaze remained fixed on Lu Qing, trying to determine the truth of his words from every subtle expression and movement.
Had those three pages really been researched by this guy?
Unfortunately,
he found nothing.
However, Wang Ye still caught two minor flaws in Lu Qing's words.
First,
Meng Po!
For someone as intelligent as Lu Qing to spend a thousand years trying to pry information from Meng Po without success seemed normal. But considering Lu Qing's intelligence, it only showed how terrifying Meng Po truly was.
Even now, Lu Qing showed great interest in Meng Po.
Second,
it was still related to Meng Po.
Meng Po had personally told him that she had revealed her origins, including the Law of Time, to Lu Qing.
Yet Lu Qing was currently acting as though he knew nothing at all.
That was quite thought-provoking.
In other words, at least one of those two was lying.
Of course, it was also possible that both of them were lying, playing him like a fool.
For example, Lu Qing might have known that Wang Ye already suspected the three pages and worried that Meng Po and he had joined forces to mislead him. So he had deliberately revealed this information, making Wang Ye subconsciously believe that Meng Po and Lu Qing were not actually on good terms, thereby clearing himself of suspicion instead.
In short, when dealing with these old schemers, he probably had to analyze dozens of possibilities for every matter—and would still most likely get tricked.

"Damn it!"
"Even a clone has some dignity, doesn't it?!"
Wang Ye finally said irritably.
