Chen Xiao smiled faintly at Jun Lin's words. "Everyone is playing dumb while knowing full well."
"What should have been a simple matter had to be taken in a circle."
"If we were who we used to be, we'd probably have gone straight to Ye Yu."
Jun Lin nodded slightly at Chen Xiao's words. "Big Brother, you're right. Back then, we would either have gone directly to Ye Yu or fixated on the 'Jade Emperor' and dug to the root of the matter."
"If Uncle Jade Emperor denied it, we probably would have used our 'wisdom' to carefully analyze whether Uncle Jade Emperor was lying."
"Back then, we thought that made us clever. Little did we know, such actions were like putting others on the fire to roast."
"No wonder Liu Yidao could swim like a fish in water through the complicated Cultivation World, while we could barely move a single step."
"If I were the one in power, I'd also favor people like Liu Yidao."
Chen Xiao said softly, "It's never too late to mend the pen after the sheep are gone. We'll just slowly learn what we don't understand."
"You plan to obtain the Black Triangle's exact location next. Ye Yu and Heng Tian probably won't tell you directly."
"After all, whoever speaks of such things will have dirty hands."
"Let's see how things go first. If it really doesn't work, we can only have Grandfather Changsheng serve as our shield."
"After all, our Grandfather Changsheng is the publicly acknowledged 'Demon Lord' of the world. It's perfectly reasonable for him to know such things."
Chen Xiao smacked his lips at Jun Lin's "plan." "Now I know how Grandfather Changsheng got his bad reputation."
"With people like you around, Grandfather Changsheng's reputation will never improve."
"You can't blame me.
