Chen Changan was extremely wary of the City Lord of the City of Creation.
That guy was just too good at acting. Even someone as guarded as Chen Changan had failed to see through his lies and performance back then.
There was only one explanation for being able to pull that off: when the guy got serious, he could even fool himself.
