After finding out that Bailu Yi was close to Qin Wentian, naturally, Di Cheng would then seek out many members of the White Deer Institute to learn more about his love rival.
The members were all extremely familiar with Qin Wentian and Di Cheng easily discovered that he was a third-ranked Inscriptionist with a cultivation base at the third level of Yuanfu. He didn’t hail from any of the major powers and knew of Bailu Yi only because of their mutual interest in Divine Inscriptions.
Hence, that was the reason for his earlier words. He wanted to knock Qin Wentian off his ‘pedestal’ by putting down Divine Inscriptionists and even claim that it was impossible to fight using Divine Inscriptions during actual combat.
But with his actions, Qin Wentian showed that it wasn’t impossible, and on the contrary, easily dealt with Di Chang.
