Lu Tian noticed this detail as well, and could not help feeling somewhat surprised.
This Late Divine Lord Realm expert actually had to listen to that Early Divine Lord Realm one?
What exactly was the relationship between these two brothers?
Although Lu Tian was puzzled, he still turned his gaze toward Yang Lingtian, who had not said a word from beginning to end.
He asked with a smile, "May I ask what you think, little brother?"
Yang Lingtian met Lu Tian's gaze, a faint smile appearing on his face.
He did not answer directly. Instead, he asked in return:
"Mansion Lord Lu, before I answer your question, I would like to ask you one."
"Oh? Go ahead, little brother."
"Mansion Lord Lu, you are so earnest in recruiting the two of us brothers. Aren't you afraid of... setting yourself on fire?" Yang Lingtian looked at him and spoke word by word.
"You know that the two of us have offended the Wang family—and not just anyone in the Wang family, but its Second Elder, the Divine King Wang Tianqi."
"By taking us in now, and even entrusting us with important responsibilities, you would effectively be declaring yourself an enemy of the Wang family."
"For the sake of two outsiders, you would completely tear off all pretense of friendship with the Wang family, one of the Four Great Powers. Mansion Lord Lu, have you truly considered the price?"
Yang Lingtian's words were like a basin of cold water, instantly dousing the heat in Lu Tian's heart.
The smile on his face stiffened slightly.
The expressions of the several elders behind him also turned solemn.
Indeed.
They had only seen the benefits of winning over a Late Divine Lord Realm expert.
Yet they had subconsciously overlooked the enormous risks hidden behind it.
