Battle Against the First Heavenly King

"At first, it was indeed only eighty percent, but your expression just now told me I could trust it ninety percent—or more!" Blue Demon said.

"If... I'm only saying if... if this information is real, does this White Bone Heavenly King who infiltrated Qianlong truly have a chance to stop here and genuinely turn over a new leaf?"

"If Hydra were still around, probably not. But the times are always changing, and Hydra is already gone!" Blue Demon said. "Is there still any need to risk his life for it? Qianlong is in need of capable people right now. As they say, heroes are not judged by their origins. As long as he genuinely renders outstanding service to Daxia, why worry that he cannot truly wash away the stain on him?"

"I understand now! You are... pedantic!" Jing Lei gave a soft laugh.

Blue Demon sighed. "Yes. As members of Qianlong, we are more or less all somewhat pedantic. We always hope to preserve useful talent for the nation. Even if someone was once our enemy, as long as they can truly be of use to us, Daxia Qianlong can still accept them."

"Having been in Qianlong for thirteen years, of course I know of Qianlong's pedantry," Jing Lei said. "Unfortunately... I am not pedantic!"

The moment his voice fell.

A sharp spike suddenly appeared before Blue Demon's brow.

That spike was faster than time and space.

Even the mighty Blue Demon Heavenly King had no way to evade it.

Tonight, she had specifically invited Jing Lei.

She had consulted Jing Lei on such a grave matter.

It did not seem to make sense.

Yet combined with her words, it also seemed perfectly reasonable.

Only two words were needed for the answer: pedantry!

She had seen Jing Lei's past achievements.
