Xiao Tang burst into laughter, shaking his head repeatedly as he waved his hand and said, "Brother Du, stop joking. I am neither the best nor the worst. Why should I be greedy?"
Du De responded coldly, "Times change. Even if you wish to hold on to your small gains, there are those who won't let you have your way."
Xiao Tang raised his eyebrows sharply, his eyes flashing like lightning. An aura of imposing might emanated from him as he said, "Brother, are you referring to that Huang Fuzhou? Haha, that person is indeed remarkable—worthy to be called my rival. If he manages to reach me this time, I wouldn't mind giving him a chance."
Du De retorted, "The master-disciple faction is pressing us tightly as of late. Junior Brother Xiao, you've likely received warnings from the elders and should have understood the situation by now. There's no need for me to elaborate."
