"It's just the two of us here, so drop the act." Zheng Dadao said, "I won't hide it from you—Jiang Wenzhang has a very powerful characteristic. He can make people spill their secrets to him involuntarily. Plus, he's backed by Mr. Kang, even Gong Jiaji can't compare to him. Once we're back to Xiaohe City, there'll be no place for people like us… How about we team up—take half the Secondary Stones each, and once we're back, we pretend nothing ever happened!"
How would Xu Huo admit to that? He just smiled and said, "That's a conflict between you guys from Xiaohe City. As an outsider, I shouldn't butt in. Plus, I still have companions in Xiaohe City—if Mr. Jiang dies, and you go tell Mr. Kang it was me, aren't you just dropping trouble on my head?"
It was obvious these two had already discussed this in private.
"Secondary Stones or whatever..." Xu Huo continued. "Trying to lure me, an outsider, to help you deal with Mr. Jiang—Mr. Zheng, that's kind of low of you."
