"Even if he hasn't gone so far as to hunt you down, the fact that he opposes us collecting the 'Nine Treasures of Pure Void' is troublesome enough." Lin Yu sighed. "All the strengths you just mentioned that he possesses in the Nether Void Realm—things that could have served as reasons for us to rely on him—will now become obstacles instead."
"He only needs to make the slightest move, and our actions will be greatly hampered."
Lin Yu reminded him.
Chen Le shook his head. "But we don't need to deliberately avoid him over this. In any case, we're bringing his niece with us, so we can't waste this advantage."
"Besides, once we enter the Middle Sea... it won't actually be difficult to keep everything completely hidden from him."
"So instead, we might as well interact with Ka openly. As for what you mentioned just now, we'll simply act a little 'smarter.'"
Chen Le spoke seriously.
Although Lin Yu had already more or less guessed Chen Le's idea, as "Zhu Ming," he still put on a curious look and asked,
"What do you mean by acting a little 'smarter'?"
This was also to confirm whether Chen Le's thoughts matched his own and whether they aligned with his expectations.
"First, we definitely can't say outright that we're here to take the 'Nine Treasures of Pure Void.' Even if he guesses it, we absolutely can't admit it—some things simply can't be put on the table and exposed to the light of day." Chen Le analyzed seriously. "Taking it a step further, although the 'Nine Treasures of Pure Void' are extremely valuable, what if, in Ka's judgment, they aren't actually that important? Maybe he really would turn a blind eye to us, or even be willing to conduct some secret trade with us!"
