Wang Guo did not hesitate or mince his words: "I came here to make a deal with you: help me kill Xiao Wenque."
"Hmm," Wang Wei muttered as he sipped his wine. "I must say: I'm surprised and not surprised at the same time."
"News about the degradation of our relationship should have spread already, so why are you shocked?" Wang Guo calmly asked.
"My astonishment was because I had thought you would try to deal with this privately," Wang Wei uttered. By now, reputation had become a shackle on Wang Guo and Xiao Wenque. Their relationship had soured, and everybody knew they wanted to kill each other, but they could not do so openly for the sake of the Myriad Clan Union. Maitreya knew this, which is why she brought them on this expedition, giving them a chance to deal with the situation quietly without creating chaos among their subordinates.
