Zhenye...
As his name resonated in the waiting room, the expression of the serpents grew graver, more confused, and overall alarmed. Brother Blue—who now had a high position in the military thanks to Xu Rouguang and Mao Jixue—gritted his teeth and spoke with pain. "We're going to make use of an abyssal demon? Do you know what this sounds like to—?"
Sovereign Lotus raised a hand, and since that was the hand of the Dragon Emperor's daughter and the future Dragon Empress, Brother Blue had to hold his tongue. She then regarded him with a mellower smile. "I didn't say we actively participate. I'm saying we should monitor Xu Chenguang as closely as possible and leave small loopholes to attract Zhenye. That way, he would be catching our bait. Then, we trap the two where there may be an altercation between them.
