Before long, Fang Ping and the others finished talking. There had not been much to discuss anyway—Fang Ping had merely told them not to spread the news around.
Nan Yun Yue and the others had returned after seeing the Zhenxing Sect Grandmasters off. Fang Ping and the others were going to meet Zhang Tao, leaving Lu Hao with nothing to do. He had originally intended to leave, but Nan Yun Yue stopped him. After all, he was the greatest contributor to the upcoming celebration banquet, and it would not look good for him to leave. So he stayed behind. With the mindset of watching a show, Lu Hao used his Mentality to observe the situation on Zhang Tao's side.
In the small meeting room on the other side, Zhang Tao looked at Fang Ping and the others with an indescribable expression, his gaze lingering particularly long on Fang Ping. He seemed to be smiling yet not smiling. Fang Ping was quite the talent—an absolute marvel. Zhang Tao truly admired him. With such a gift for fooling people, was he not wasting his talents here? He should have been sent to fool the people in the Earth Cave instead.
And most importantly, someone had actually believed him. Zhang Tao looked at Li Hansong. Among the powerhouses who had died back then, this one was probably the dumbest. There was no need to doubt it—he was simply far too innocent.
Fang Ping and Li Hansong both felt their scalps tingle under his gaze. Fang Ping now strongly suspected that Zhang Tao had been eavesdropping. Could those at the pinnacle really act so recklessly, casually listening in on other people's conversations? Li Hansong, meanwhile, felt uncomfortable all over. Minister Zhang's expression when looking at him just now had been too strange. Pity?
Sympathy?
