Li Hongjiu knew this bastard's brotherly affection was fake too. What did he mean, "We finally meet again"? What did he mean, "I missed you to death"? Don't tell me you didn't see me before we came out of the Divine Fire Domain's exit. You hadn't even said hello, clearly pretending to be blind, and now you were pulling this routine again.
