Under Wu Dade's coercion, the big black dog reluctantly went with him to find somewhere no one was around.
Long Zixuan, Qing Chen, and the others stayed where they were, completely bewildered.
What on earth was Junior Brother Dade doing?
He was acting strange.
"Heh, you ignorant bumpkins. Take your time and think it over."
Cen Mingyi sneered. He wasn't in a hurry. He'd seen far too many poor people who prided themselves on their lofty ideals.
