"This coward, to think he promised me he'd make a difference, and this is the outcome?"
Hou Niao gnashed his teeth in frustration. The man was someone he was responsible for contacting, and was supposed to be someone with a Dao Heart and clear understanding. But clearly, under the pressure of our Manor, he hadn't been able to hold firm and ultimately chose to compromise.
Hou Niao laughed, "Normal, if it were me who entered the Dao over a decade ago, I wouldn't do as well as him! I wouldn't just compromise; I'd brag and boast even more... This kid is not bad, has much more potential than I had."
Fang Yazi just curled his lip, "What you did wasn't bragging and boasting, it was more like honeyed words with a hidden sword, wasn't it?"
Hou Niao was speechless, "Yazi, what kind of books have you been reading lately? You've gone off track, you know. Read less of the desperate literati's feeble essays; they don't benefit you in any way other than giving you a sharp tongue."
