Gotta say, from everything that's happened these past few days, it's clear Xu Yeming is one sharp guy—clear-headed and cautious.
If summoning the phoenix from the Classic of Mountains and Seas with the Earth Staff was all he wanted to do,
then both the timing and location he chose were way too reckless.
Honestly, if it wasn't for Lu Chang'sheng and the others backing him up, he'd be dead for sure.
That's totally against the personality he'd shown before.
So—
that's why Chang'sheng is guessing Xu Yeming must have some other motive.
And whatever it is, it's urgent enough that he'd risk being found out—or even getting himself killed—to get it done.
"So, you actually have another reason, right?"
Hearing Lu Chang'sheng's question,
Xu Yeming lowered his head, looking a little hesitant.
Lu Chang'sheng said, "We're already master and disciple now. No need to keep secrets from me."
