Li Yunchan is coming my way.
Qin Hao had noticed Li Yunchan's movements long ago. A little taken aback, he soon grew thoughtful.
Compared to Jing Lie.
Clearly...
He was easier to control.
After all, he was merely an Early-Stage Dao-Origin Divine Lord.
That was probably the main reason Li Yunchan had chosen to approach him rather than Jing Lie.
But...
This Jing Lie...
Sensing the waves of immense killing intent radiating from Jing Lie, Qin Hao's expression darkened.
If Jing Lie had only been angry and dissatisfied with him before, now he truly wanted to kill him.
This left Qin Hao rather speechless.
Li Yunchan was largely responsible for Jing Lie's drastic change. It took no thought to realize that Jing Lie had designs on such a great beauty.
Yet...
Li Yunchan had come to his side.
And she had done so while ignoring Jing Lie.
Jing Lie was furious as a result, but he could not vent that fury on Li Yunchan, so...
He poured it all onto Qin Hao.
What kind of nonsense is this? Qin Hao felt utterly helpless. He had done nothing at all; he had only wanted to remain inconspicuous.
Yet Jing Lie had come to resent him over this trifling matter.
It was a calamity out of nowhere.
Forget it. Even without this, Jing Lie would surely demand thirty percent of my reward later, and there's no way I'll give it to him.
In other words, if Jing Lie let the matter rest, that would be the end of it. But if he again demanded a share of Qin Hao's low-grade origin crystals...
Their conflict would become irreconcilable.
Qin Hao glanced at Jing Lie, then could not be bothered to dwell on it any longer. He closed his eyes to rest again.
"Hm?"
