Li Chang'an had expected them to say as much and replied immediately, "But you never told me which faction you belong to. The fact that I could recognize you're from the Liyang Empire by the symbols engraved on your warship's hull—doesn't that prove I have a connection to Li Yang?"
The other party seemed to have anticipated his response and replied just as bluntly, "The Liyang Empire is one of the two great Empires in the Third Universe. You're barely an interstellar civilization now, so it's not surprising you've learned of the Liyang Empire's existence from other sources."
Li Chang'an smiled. "Is that so? Not only do I know of the Liyang Empire's existence, I also know its origins and its founder..."
As he spoke, he began to recount a part of his past, framing it from a different perspective for them.
But after listening, the other party didn't react as Li Chang'an had expected. Instead, they suddenly fell silent for a long time.
