Gongyang Yi journeyed to Tiger Soul River, not to see King of Sorrow Yao Dang first, but to see Xu Xing instead—a move calculated to sow deep suspicion!
Although Xu Xing was curious about Gongyang Yi's purpose in entering Siming Mountain Stronghold, he felt compelled to avoid suspicion and thus sought out Yao Dang first. After explaining the situation, he deliberately kept Gongyang Yi waiting for a while before finally appearing.
But a Positive Strategy is, after all, still a Positive Strategy.
Compared to the past, Yao Dang's gaze towards him now carried an additional hint of suspicion.
"My visit to King Xing Tian is not for any other matter…" Gongyang Yi said, fanning himself. "It is to resolve King Xing Tian's hostilities towards Heyang Mountain."
"Master Shang became the Alliance Leader because Mount Siming proposed it," Xu Xing stated. "The two families are part of the Brotherhood Alliance. Mister Gongyang's words... this king finds them truly hard to fathom."
