I'm going to be contrary!
As the saying goes, 'professionals are rivals.' One charlatan who can babble mystically and fool people is quite enough. When two show up at once, their roles overlap, making it quite dull.
The Ape Man paid no attention to Bai Yongyan's contrarian stance. It hung its head low for a long while before suddenly lifting it, its eyes filled with confusion.
"Hey, hey, hey? Can you hear me speaking?"
Bai Yongyan waved his hand, asking again, "Who did you just say died? Who awoke?"
"Did I say that?" The Ape Man looked bewildered. "I can't remember..."
He just said it, and he's forgotten? Does he have Alzheimer's disease? Bai Yongyan thought.
Bai Yongyan said earnestly, "Yes, not only did you say it, but you also promised to help me obtain tens of thousands in gold, endless silver, and millions of grand residences, to help me become the foremost merchant in the world."
