A sudden realization, or rather, gritting his teeth, Ji Jue faced the bloody reality.
The reality was that he was played by Lao Deng all along, not realizing it at all.
Although the generous intergenerational gift was so overwhelming it was hard to digest, and he was flattered, why did his fists inexplicably clench?!
Even though now he knows that his lineage once strutted around the association, almost hugging the most influential and powerful leg of the Ember line, and he could have been the next Grandmaster, with an impressive background, he actually felt zero regret or pity!
All that's left is immense approval and gratitude toward his teacher.
Breaking away was the right choice, teacher!
It was damn right!
If you hadn't broken it, I would have!
Otherwise, wouldn't I have to face the old man's constant pressure every day?
"..."
In the silence, Ji Jue's expression changed, like a spinning wheel.
