Yu Lian's last words struck a chord with Wang Ping.
Not long ago, Wang Ping had asked Zi Luan if he possessed the compound array passed down from the Xiao Shan Lord. Zi Luan had said no, yet Xiu Yu had later told him that very array was on Zi Luan's person.
It was highly probable that Xiu Yu was deliberately sowing discord, but Wang Ping couldn't help but overthink it.
Now that he had met with Xiu Yu alone, with Wu Quan also involved, word would inevitably reach Zi Luan's ears. Zi Luan might not think much of it at first, but over time, it would surely foster resentment.
Furthermore, Zi Luan should have replied to him by now under normal circumstances, yet there was still no word.
Just as he was thinking this, he sensed a Puppet Bird in the sky locking onto his aura. When he looked up, the Puppet Bird was already descending and circling above the Mountain Peak Dojo, waiting for the Dojo's illusion to let it in.
