Long Qi was still searching his memory for the man's identity.
The man nodded toward them again. "Hello, Mister Long Qi. High Priest Li, Major Yuan, Mister Liu."
Beside him, Yuan Wuwei muttered, "Well, look who knows everything."
That hardly sounded like a compliment.
Yet Li Taisheng seemed not to notice. "Anyone who entered the Dreamscape Game this early to experience or study the Original Body is basically in the know. Most of them, at least... He must have been following the livestream and related news online. And he's high up in the Hundun Cult, with close ties to the Inner World. Watching the livestream alone wouldn't have let him recognize Ms. Dahle."
Ever since Constance had "volunteered" to speak with Long Qi, Yuan Wuwei had been in a foul mood, and his words had grown sharper. "Someone's been stomping all over Lake City. Anyone in the Inner World with half a brain would be watching. Nobody wants a Nuclear Bomb going off over their head."
The others chattered behind them, but the two Transcendental Species had turned decidedly aloof.
Constance gave a slight nod. As for Mora, despite being the one who had asked to talk, she merely glanced over and offered no response at all.
Long Qi was enjoying the spectacle when he caught Yuan Wuwei and Li Taisheng looking at him. Their meaning was clear:
Your turn.
They couldn't just leave the man hanging, could they?
????????????????Truth be told, it wouldn't matter much if they did. None of them depended on this little patch of Lake City for a living. But there was no need to offend someone just because the two Transcendental Species were acting aloof.
As for speaking on the group's behalf, Yuan Wuwei was an active-duty soldier, while Li Taisheng was a Secret Covenant
