Tearing All Pretenses Apart

Therefore, Lin Xuan could never let this old man leave.

"Do you think I'd make this deal with you?"

Lin Xuan spoke coldly.

Hearing Lin Xuan's words, the old man, who had been wearing a confident smile, froze slightly.

This was a mutually beneficial deal. No matter how one looked at it, Lin Xuan stood to gain a great deal.

The old man had never expected Lin Xuan to refuse him at this point. Thus, just as Lin Xuan seemed ready to reject the deal, the smile on the old man's face froze once again.

"Could it be that you can still refuse this deal?"

The old man's brows furrowed slightly.

Lin Xuan looked at the old man calmly. "Why can't I refuse this deal?"

"Do you really think I don't know what you're thinking?"

Lin Xuan looked at the old man coldly.

"You've already lost your soul. Under these circumstances, the moment you leave this place, your enemies will certainly find you instantly."

"You have to find a body to inhabit and subdue its soul. Only then can you avoid being discovered by your enemies."

Lin Xuan paused as he spoke.

"And that's not all. The reason you want to inhabit my body is, at the end of the day, because you've taken a liking to it. From the very beginning, you've probably been planning to seize this body of mine!"

Lin Xuan voiced his final guess.

Hearing Lin Xuan's words, the old man's expression turned ugly. He had never imagined that all his schemes would be seen through by Lin Xuan.

Even less had he expected Lin Xuan to expose everything outright.

That left no room for compromise at all and gave the old man no chance to ease the situation.

"You think I care about your body?"
