It turned out that although Jiang Feng had asked A Luo to lie for him, he had not actually held out any hope for it.
Yao Xinghe froze for a moment. "You brat, your mind is truly meticulous."
"In other words, when you moved to suppress Hua Rong, you already knew that you could not possibly destroy Hua Huayue today?"
"And you even used A Luo, who was there at the scene, to send a signal to Hua Huayue."
Jiang Feng nodded. "That's right. Of course I knew that even if I suppressed Hua Rong, there was nothing I could do to Hua Huayue."
"She is, after all, a core disciple. That Many-Eyed Protector must have been watching today's battle from the very beginning."
"With him there, it was temporarily impossible for me to kill Hua Huayue."
"That was why I put on that show of suppressing Hua Rong in front of A Luo."
Yao Xinghe could not help but marvel. Jiang Feng had calculated the outcome from the very start, even factoring the Many-Eyed Protector into his scheme and making use of him.
In this way, first, Hua Huayue had seen that Jiang Feng could casually destroy and suppress even a Two-Aspect Heavenly God. If she wished to make a move against Jiang Feng again in the future, she would naturally have to weigh the consequences; second, Hua Huayue would certainly guess afterward that Jiang Feng was the one who had emptied out her reserves. Yet for all sorts of reasons, she could not possibly demand those things back from him.
Yao Xinghe suddenly felt that Jiang Feng's achievements today seemed to stem from more than mere luck and heaven-sent opportunities.
After plundering and sorting through Hua Huayue's reserves, Jiang Feng began clearing out Hua Rong's reserves as well.
