"The state-defending general can't say that, it's not necessarily only Xu Ping'an who discovered it; others might have as well, and they possibly disdain to do so," Martial King said with a smile.
He was arguing against what the state-defending general had said.
Many people in the audience nodded in agreement—they hadn't found it, but that didn't mean Song Kaitian, Long Zhan, Yu Chenglin and others couldn't have found it.
"Hmph, I admit they may have discovered it, but the fact that they disdain even to absorb it says something. It means they refuse to absorb it out of concern for their own dignity. They are too proud to do so; they do not lack resources. But where did their resources come from in the first place, if not acquired by their forebears? In my view, they are even worse than those who didn't discover it," the state-defending general snorted dismissively.
There was a stir among the audience.
In that moment, everyone was shocked.
