The moment Yang Chen thought of Wu Changkong, Wu Changkong's gaze suddenly landed on him, making Yang Chen narrow his eyes and secretly raise his guard.
Wu Changkong said with a faint smile, "Speaking of privacy, Brother He Tan, Brother Hua Wu, I have a question I'd like to ask you."
"What question?" Both He Tan and Great Emperor Hua Wu remained wary. After all, this was the Imperial Court's territory.
Wu Changkong said, "I'm very curious. Does the Yang Chen under your command have any connection to that Yang Chen from the Eastern Thirty-Six Commanderies?"
When this question was raised once more, everyone from the Huahai Sect and the Ling Nü Sect pricked up their ears.
Great Emperor Renhu had actually asked this question earlier, but He Tan and Great Emperor Hua Wu had simply ignored him. No one knew how the two would answer this time.
He Tan said coldly, "Great Emperor Changkong, since you yourself mentioned the word 'privacy,' it seems we have no obligation to answer this question."
Wu Changkong smiled amiably. "Haha, don't be nervous, don't be nervous. I bear no ill intent. Although Yang Chen once escaped while carrying a peerless treasure, this old man has no interest in the treasures on him."
Hearing this, Yang Chen could not help clenching his fists.
Wu Changkong looked like a kind-hearted man, claiming he had no interest in Yang Chen's treasures. But his meaning was clearly more like telling everyone else, Come and look, Yang Chen has a peerless treasure on him. You'd better investigate him thoroughly, lest you miss anything.
How could Great Emperor Hua Wu and Great Emperor He Tan fail to understand Wu Changkong's intentions and thoughts? Both merely let out a muffled snort.
Great Emperor Hua Wu said darkly, "Is that so?
