It Turns Out That I Was Too Hasty

"Huh?"

Lu Chong froze.

He was completely dumbfounded.

Beside him, Gong Chen also wore a bewildered expression.

However, the most shocked was Li Qingxuan, who stared at her master with disbelief and exclaimed, "Master, you... you..."

"Shut up, you have no right to speak."

Li Hongtian scolded her, then said with a serious face, "I think there's really no need for us to fight."

"It's just a broken engagement, right?"

"This Li Qingxuan isn't worthy of you anyway, so whatever you want to do next is up to you. Whether you take her away right now or break up with her on the spot, I won't say a word. As long as you're happy."

These words.

Left Gong Chen and Lu Chong even more bewildered.

The reason they wanted to challenge Li Hongtian directly was because they feared he would interfere after they defeated Li Qingxuan.

So to save time, they challenged Li Hongtian directly.

But they never expected him to refuse to fight and say such things.

"Master, you... you actually... why?"

"Even if he were at the late stage of True Essence Immortal Realm, you could easily defeat him!"

"Besides, he can't possibly be at True Essence Immortal Realm, he's just a worthless person!"

From the side, Li Qingxuan shouted hysterically, her body trembling.

"Shut up."

Li Hongtian slapped her, sending her flying.

Then he turned to Lu Chong with a smile and said, "I meant what I said earlier, very sincerely."

Afraid that Lu Chong wouldn't believe him, he quickly raised his hand and said, "I swear!"

Li Hongtian's series of actions left Lu Chong and his companion at a loss for what to do.

They had trained hard for a month at Dark Shadow Island and returned with great momentum.

But damn it.

It was like punching a cotton ball.

It was extremely frustrating.

"You, as the governor of an entire province, have no backbone when we come to challenge you?"

Lu Chong asked puzzledly.

"Because I always believe in winning people over with virtue."

Li Hongtian replied with a straight face.

Hearing this.

Gong Chen and Lu Chong's lips twitched.

Their looks at Li Hongtian seemed to say: Do you think we believe that?

"Uh."

"Ahem."

Li Hongtian coughed awkwardly twice, then said with a red face, "Alright, to be honest, I feel I probably can't afford to offend you."

"Because at your age, to reach this level of power is simply beyond ordinary imagination, so there must be someone formidable behind you!"

The two raised their eyebrows.

Far from looking down on Li Hongtian for saying this.

They actually respected him more.

As the saying goes, a wise man knows when to bend. Just this level of insight suggested his future achievements wouldn't be small.

Indeed, worthy of being a provincial governor.

"You're very clever."

Lu Chong praised.

"You flatter me."

Li Hongtian smiled and said, "But at your age, to have such achievements, I assume the senior behind you must have invested a lot of effort in you?"

"You think too much."

Lu Chong smiled bitterly, "How could I be worthy of the master's efforts? Besides, I'm just at the bottom among our group."

These words falling into Li Hongtian's ears.

Made his lips tremble.

Because no matter what, his assumption about someone being behind Lu Chong was just speculation.

So his previous words were actually meant to probe.

To confirm whether there really was such a powerful figure behind Lu Chong.

But the result of this probe completely unsettled him.

"You... you mean there's not just one person like you, and you're actually the weakest?"

He asked with wide eyes.

His heart churning with huge waves.

Someone of Lu Chong's age reaching True Essence Immortal Realm - such talent would be fought over by any sacred ground even in the Immortal Realm.

Even the Heavenly Immortal Palace might extend an olive branch.

Yet he said there were others like him?

And he was the weakest?
