Jiang Yushan looked at Song Wen with utter contempt.
"You are so dull-witted, I truly wonder how you cultivated to the Nascent Soul Realm. The reason this news was leaked is by no means accidental. That ruin must be fraught with peril on every side. Whoever spread the news undoubtedly intended to lure greedy people like you there to scout the way for him, so that he could reap the fisherman's profit!"
A look of sudden realization bloomed across Song Wen's face. With an expression full of admiration and gratitude, he said, "Second Young Master is absolutely right. Things are likely exactly as you said. Second Young Master is truly extraordinary, seeing everything as clearly as a fire; your wisdom surpasses all others, and with a single word, you exposed the mastermind's scheme. Had I truly gone to that ruin, I would surely have died. Thank you, Second Young Master, for warning me in time and saving my life. I shall never forget this kindness for as long as I live!"
Song Wen's tearfully grateful appearance greatly satisfied Jiang Yushan. He waved a hand and said smugly, "By following at this young master's side, you will naturally benefit immensely. Even an offhand remark from me may serve you for a lifetime."
Song Wen clasped his hands. "I will bear Second Young Master's teachings firmly in mind."
Jiang Yushan nodded in satisfaction, then changed the subject. "By the way, as a Rogue Cultivator, you have surely encountered quite a few sordid tricks. Have you learned one or two of them?"
Song Wen asked in confusion, "I do not understand what Second Young Master means. Could Second Young Master please enlighten me?"
A trace of displeasure appeared on Jiang Yushan's face. He then turned and glanced at Jiang He behind him.
