"Were you telling the truth, or were you deliberately lying to me?"
And it had been a long time since he had been like this, mainly because he found these people's reactions truly irritating.
"Why would we lie to you? If we hadn't understood these things well enough, things would have changed back then."
In short, becoming Martial Artists had already been the result of their individual efforts. They did not dare say anything about what came afterward.
"Fine, fine. If that's what you want to think, there's nothing I can do. Anyway, I've already told you everything I should."
If there really had been any connection, things would have changed long ago.
"Then why don't we poach Jiang Lan? We'd never even heard of their base before, and we don't even know how it came about. As long as we get him over here, all of this will be ours."
"You make it sound so simple. Do you know why they recruited Jiang Lan back then?"
He just thought these people were unbelievably stupid, to come up with such a simplistic approach here.
"Can't we just ask around? Why is he like this? It definitely can't be as simple as it looks on the surface. There must be something we don't know."
As he spoke, he looked over this way, while those who heard his words frowned deeply.
"Yes, there are indeed some problems with that line of thinking, but I don't think this can be connected to those earlier things."
After Jiang Lan returned to the base, he took Xinghe straight home without even attending their meeting again.
"Just say whatever you have to say. There's no need to act like this. Besides, I said back then that I didn't care about this matter in the first place."
