In Haotian's view, he still didn't know what the Two Saints of the Western Teachings were after.
If he revealed his intentions just like that, he might well fall into their trap.
Besides, what Jieyin and Zhunti had just advised him to do was quite similar to what Venerable Yuanshi had told him earlier.
The difference was that Venerable Yuanshi had only told Haotian to secretly plot to seize the Heavenly Court's fortune. He hadn't told Haotian exactly how to do it.
Now, the Two Saints of the Western Teachings had come to offer him a specific plan.
They wanted him to start from scratch and establish a Western Heavenly Court.
After hearing what Haotian said, Jieyin and Zhunti couldn't help but pause, then exchanged smiles.
With the insight of Saints, they had naturally seen through him.
Haotian was only saying that for show.
After a brief pause, Zhunti spoke:
"Haotian."
"Stop putting on an act in front of us Saints."
"My senior brother and I both know that deep down, you harbor considerable resentment over Qin Mu becoming the master of the Heavenly Court."
"You simply don't dare voice it because Qin Mu is so powerful, so you've swallowed your grievances and endured."
"Am I wrong?"
At his words, Haotian's heart trembled. He wondered what he had done to give himself away.
Why did Venerable Yuanshi and the Two Saints of the Western Teachings both seem able to see right through his thoughts?
After a moment of stunned silence, Haotian came to his senses and feigned composure.
"Two Saints."
"Did you come here to ask me to oppose... Senior Brother Qin Mu?"
"I'm sure you both know how terrifying Senior Brother Qin Mu is."
"Even a Saint like Venerable Yuanshi was killed by him nine times in a row."
