BOOM.
Ao Lie felt as if struck by lightning, completely stunned.
"Why would someone with no connection to you, no reason to, offer help?"
These words struck him like a sharp warning.
He broke out in a cold sweat. "Could it just be his kindness?" he asked.
Sha Chen replied, "Perhaps he's setting a trap for you. He knows you're pursuing Princess Wan Sheng and also knows about the liuli Dragon Pearl. That's something your father only recently presented to the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor hasn't even decided how to use it yet, so how would an outsider know it's in the Heavenly Court?"
Ao Lie sobered up completely.
Drenched in a cold sweat and trembling, he stammered, "Brother, am I... am I being targeted?"
As a member of the Dragon Clan, he naturally knew of their precarious situation.
The Dragon Clan had always been extremely cautious, as if treading on thin ice. Though he was pampered and indulged by the clan, it didn't mean he was oblivious to their circumstances.
