Gu Beifeng had just finished speaking when he immediately froze, saying:
"I'm going to seek an alliance with Du Tianxing, will he agree?"
Zhuge Ming gave a faint smile and replied:
"No."
"Why?"
Gu Beifeng looked at Zhuge Ming with some surprise. Zhuge Ming was very intelligent, often giving him many ideas, earning his deep trust. The two had also been university classmates and had a very good relationship.
"The reason is simple," Zhuge Ming said. "Zhao Benling said that Wuji Mountain should be divided equally among the four factions, which benefits Du Tianxing. Moreover, if Yang Xiao, Du Tianxing, and Zhao Benling form an alliance, they could easily force us to comply. Du Tianxing only needs to show an alliance stance to easily profit from it. Such a good deal; even a fool would do it. If it were you, you would do the same."
Gu Beifeng nodded, his expression growing somber.
Yang Xiao's plan was too formidable, turning him from the aggressor to the passive side in an instant.
