True Motives

Liang sneered inwardly as he pondered over Han Zhi's intentions. He knew that Han Zhi was trying to uncover his true motives, hoping to exploit any vulnerabilities he might find. But the question still lingered in his mind, Why?

Maintaining a neutral expression, Liang carefully chose his words, masking his true intentions with an air of sincerity he said calmly. "I will follow the same path as Brother Han."

Han Zhi's eyes flickered with surprise for a brief moment, but he quickly masked it with a facade of friendliness, hiding any hint of coldness beneath.

Meanwhile, the other three cultivators, Jiang Yan, Gu Hong, and Xue Ren, though taken aback by Liang's decision, did not dwell on it for too long.

Jiang Yan, with a warm smile, stepped forward to reassure Liang. "Good junior brother Liang, don't worry. This senior sister will take care of you."

Liang's lips curved in a knowing smile and nodded gratefully.
