Everyone found it a little strange.
Now that Tang You had passed the buck to him, everyone couldn't help but turn to look.

The kind that could blow him to smithereens at any moment.
It was a good thing he was so meticulous and always kept his guard up. Even when it came to being an opportunist, he was the subtle type...
So after escaping from Gu Xi that day, he had originally planned to contact the Gu Family to feel out the position of the higher-ups. But on a strange impulse, before getting in touch with them, he first sought out Ye Xin.
