Fang Yuan didn't respond. Outwardly, his expression remained unreadable.
Inwardly, he sneered.
Shameful? As if you both didn't just try to cripple me with that little sneak attack. Hypocrite.
But he kept the thought to himself. He said nothing.
He was going to let the old man dance to his own drama.
Gu Jian, at least, seemed to take the old man's comment to heart.
With a quiet sigh, he stepped back, hands folded behind him as he retreated to the edge of the bridge, moving in together with the crowd.
Signaling that the fight, at least for now would be one-on-one.
Fang Yuan's gaze dropped lazily to Gu Lanyue.
He offered a faint, mocking smile.
"Old man," he said, tone mild but laced with disdain, "Are you sure you can handle me alone? I don't mind facing the two of you alone. I don't want to accidentally hurt a 'senior' after all."
Gasps echoed among the crowd.
