"I..." Guo Li's face showed struggle, as he lifted the cup of wine from the table and drained it once more, a flicker of determination passing through his eyes, as if he'd made some sort of decision.
"Brother Chen, I've been lying to you from the very beginning. Back in Yun City, the parents I mentioned were just my foster parents. My own parents come from a declining family in the Yuanwu World..." As he spoke, Guo Li's gaze towards Chen Tang flickered.
Even without Guo Li saying it, Chen Tang could now guess as much.
Yi Xuezhen recognized Guo Li's parents, and if Guo Li's parents had been small merchants from Yun City, that definitely wouldn't have been possible!
"Why did you hide your identity and deceive me? Or rather, did you approach me on purpose?" Chen Tang's face was devoid of much expression, as if he was mechanically asking questions.
