"Hongjun, have you decided what to do about the method Yu Tiankong told you?"
Given Flender's Soul Power cultivation, he had naturally overheard Kong and Ma Hongjun's conversation.
What he had heard made his expression turn extremely grim.
Because what Yu Tiankong had said was very likely true!
As the Young Sect Master of the Number One Beast Martial Soul clan, his understanding of Beast Martial Souls was definitely not something a self-taught nobody like Flender could compare to.

Flender's question meant he knew about what had happened earlier. Then why—why had he allowed Dai Mubai and him to suffer such humiliation?
Ma Hongjun was utterly confused and lost. Flender had always been fiercely protective of his own.
