To be honest.
From the moment Xu Xiaoshou entered this room using the "Vanishing Art" to the moment he finished listening to Jiang Qi, his heart had gone rather cold.
This world was never short of clever people... He became even more certain of that.
Perhaps, due to insufficient intelligence, Jiang Qi had indeed made a few minor misjudgments about First Pavilion Under Heaven.
But at its core, she had guessed correctly that Xu Deyi was a pawn of the Saint Slave!
At this moment, Xu Xiaoshou was very glad he had come.
If he had delayed for a while longer, the Jiang Clan's operation against First Pavilion Under Heaven might truly have begun. Whether he would have been exposed then was one matter.
