Ku Rong tapped his chin. "Let me answer Lou Guanshan's earlier question first. You're no strangers to the weakest combatant in [the Salvation Hall of Fame]. The Present World calls it [the Whale of Wailing].
"It holds the ninth seat in the Hall of Fame, which is also the last seat. Its strength surpasses a Level Eleven Calamity. The reason I looked at Ye Buyu was also because... you two have quite a connection."
Little Whale looked at Ku Rong in disbelief. "So your explanation is just selling me out?!"
Ye Buyu raised a hand, staring intently at Ku Rong. "Let's move past this topic. I'm not particularly interested in that damned whale right now."
What connection? Isn't it right beside you?
Even at a time like this, you still remember to cover for your colleague. You really are a whole nest of troublemakers who do it for kicks.
Seeing how unusually calm Ye Buyu was, Su Wuwei and the others fell silent and calmed down as well, sorting through the information in the exchange between the two sides.
At that moment, Ye Buyu was like a bomb that had already gone off. Once Little Whale had been thrown out, all her anger had been thoroughly vented, leaving only helplessness and calm in the face of the current situation.
In short, she had hit rock bottom and bounced back.
Ku Rong looked with interest at Ye Buyu and Hold Up the Heavens behind her. Now they had some of that composure he knew so well, unshaken even if the sky collapsed.
"Then I'll be direct. I imagine you've vaguely sensed that some force has been pushing you into the spotlight. I admit that we were behind it. Our goal is simple: we want you to grow quickly.
"[Eternal Frozen Silence]
