"Yunhui, I'll leave these divine weapons to you. Leave the rest to us," Huo Lian said. "Huang Xiao, that old fellow is here for you. Have a good chat with him."
At Huo Lian's words, Baili Zhen burst out laughing. "Right, have a good chat. Best if you can make him fly into a rage out of humiliation."
"Stop sticking your nose in," Tan Ming said, shaking his head.
