Upon hearing Guo Lie's words, Zhang Yan smiled faintly without responding. Setting aside the truth or falsehood of the matter, he discerned a strong trace of jealousy.
However, upon closer reflection, it wasn't entirely without reason.
Guo Lie had claimed to have fought Shen Minggu several times before, each ending in a draw. Fu Yuqing was his apprentice-nephew—if Fu were to triumph this time, wouldn't it make Guo Lie seem inept?
Still, Zhang Yan had his calculations. Should Fu Yuqing falter, he wouldn't hesitate to step forward for the fight.
Not only was Chongyue True Temple a whetstone he had chosen for himself, but he could also repay a favor in the process. Why not take advantage of such an opportunity?
