"Hmm?"
Huai Shi was baffled.
"This place is about to become a battlefield between the Dongxia Genealogy and the Yingzhou Phylogeny—no, between Dongxia and Yingzhou," Tony said. "Given my status, it's not suitable for me to remain."
"And you still claim you're not from the Astronomical Society?!"
"I only said my status makes it unsuitable for me to stay. Don't twist my words!" Tony's horse face was a mask of innocence. "You have to be responsible for what you say."
He'll just deny it to the end, won't he!
After a moment's thought, Huai Shi asked, "Do I have to leave too?"
"You're not on the Astronomical Society's list of competing teams, nor are you representing them… You claim to be from the Astronomical Society, but do you have your ID?"
"No…"
"Exactly," Tony shrugged. "Whether you stay or go is up to you. However, for a grassroots operative like yourself, this is a rare opportunity. It's best to seize it if you can. No need to overthink things."
