If There's Nothing to Hide, Why Won't You Face It? Back Among Mortals, It Felt Like a Lifetime Ago-Time to Show Off?

"Heh, see that?"

"Jiang Shang has something to hide, so he didn't dare answer your question directly!"

"If he had a clear conscience, why would he hang up on you?"

True Person Huanglong's mocking voice rang out.

Hatred rose in Shen Gongbao's heart, and his face flushed even redder.

To think he had been deceived by that hypocrite all these years!

"You thought you were doing a good deed? You thought you were some great benefactor, Shen Gongbao, always there when people needed you? What good did it do?"

True Person Huanglong sneered. "You were just played for a fool."

"If I were you, I'd take back the Investiture List and preside over the Investiture of the Gods myself. Show Master what you can do."

"Success is the quietest proof of excellence!"

"Once you're good enough, you'll certainly be entrusted with greater responsibilities."

"But if you're useless, even an opportunity dropped right into your lap will slip through your fingers!"

"Huh?" Shen Gongbao froze. "Take... take the Investiture List? Wouldn't that be wrong?"

"Heh, what's wrong with it? Master wanted you to preside over the Investiture List in the first place. Jiang Shang merely snatched it away."

True Person Huanglong said with a taunting smile, "If you get it back, you're reclaiming what you lost. That's not stealing!"

"Forget it. Why am I wasting my breath on you? You're nothing but a good-for-nothing."

"As I see it, the Investiture List is better off with Jiang Shang. Give it to a coward like you, and you might ruin the whole Investiture of the Gods."

After one last round of mockery, Huanglong

turned and walked away

without another word.

Shen Gongbao's face turned ugly.

He stood there, his expression shifting again and again. In the end, he returned to the Chan Sect
