Zhishou kept asking, but Hanyu refused to give him a straight answer.
In the end, even Zhishou couldn't keep his composure. His voice turned helpless.
"Can you give me a straight answer? Stop using that lousy excuse."
Hanyu sneered. "Then you give me a straight answer, too. No more hiding things from me."
When dealing with these things, he had to use every last bit of his wits.
They were all too good at hiding things. Not one of them ever told the truth.
They could have told him earlier or later, but they'd chosen to bring it up now. There was obviously something fishy going on.
Before he'd claimed the rules, even Zhishou had only known a little about the matter. Now, asking him out of the blue to do something like this was clearly a spur-of-the-moment decision.
Zhishou probably hadn't laid any plans, so the answer was obvious.
"Did Heaven's Will send you here to do this?"
He felt he'd pretty much hit the nail on the head.
Zhishou fell silent, but wasn't silence the best answer?
"So you're hiding things from me, too, you old fossil. Heaven's Will came to you? Where is it? Tell that bastard to come explain things to me himself."
By the end, Hanyu was gritting his teeth in fury.
He did the work and cleaned up the mess.
Heaven's Will had risen from the dead and gone looking for that old ghoul, not him.
How was he supposed to put up with that?
Did it really think he was a hired hand?
Zhishou fell silent for a long while before finally speaking.
"It did appear."
Hanyu's heart stirred. Just as he'd guessed, that good-for-nothing Heaven's Will had shown up.
Since it had appeared, didn't that mean he could honorably step back and
