"Oh? Is that so?"
Qin Jiuge burst out laughing when he heard that, then continued, "Unfortunately, you were wrong from the very beginning."
"How is that possible?"
Xu Lang stood dumbfounded, his pupils trembling. Then inspiration suddenly flashed through his mind, as though he had only just belatedly realized something.
Pointing at Qin Jiuge, he said with utter disbelief, "So what you mean is, if Eldest Princess Li Changge of the Sky Phoenix Dynasty fails, it would actually be truly beneficial for your Qin Family?"
"No, but why?"
Xu Lang asked again.
Only at this moment.
What he sought was no longer the key to the outcome of the battle before them, but an instinctive exploration of the larger situation.
Because at this very moment, he simply could not understand it.
His mind was simple and his limbs well-developed. In his understanding, Qin Jiuge's Qin Family and the Eldest Princess's Residence within the Sky Phoenix Royal Family should have been of one heart, naturally helping and supporting each other.
Yet, from Qin Jiuge's words, that did not seem to be the case.
Xu Lang made his own little calculations in his heart: if he could not even analyze the situation before him, how would he manage the enormous Rogue Cultivator Alliance in the future?
Although the imperial-level prodigy Sikong Changfeng had always steadily suppressed him, given Sikong Changfeng's disposition, his most likely future position would not be Alliance Leader of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, but Supreme Elder. Then the position of Alliance Leader would be left vacant.
Looking around, aside from Xu Lang himself, there simply was no second candidate.
This was called confidence. This was called confidence in the future. Therefore.
Of course, Xu Lang had to study hard and improve every day, making ample preparations to take charge
