Yang Xiyi looked a little surprised, probably not understanding why Yu Lian was so certain.
"As for me, I have my own intelligence channels. There's an ally here that no one could possibly imagine, and they've also left a clear set of eyes and ears in the Empire's L3 star sector."

That was a huge investment. Yu Lian blinked, but given that he was standing on a dragon ship himself, he wasn't particularly moved.
