Having rejected his invitation and invoked Divine Monk Wu Tan's name for protection, Hui Cheng should leave this "Hui Chi" alone for the time being.
As long as I avoid appearing as Hui Chi from now on, I should be fine.
That way, none of the heat will come my way!
And it certainly won't implicate the people around me.
Like Zhi Jian's family, whom I have some dealings with.
Or Mu Yao, the prince I traveled with.
What if I, Xu Lei, had confronted Hui Cheng head-on?
Hui Cheng might not be able to kill me, but he could have gone after those people to vent his frustration.
That would have been a disaster!
That would be a negative karmic consequence.
But in this situation, I'm in a much less reactive position.
'Although I saw through the old bastard's plot this time and he didn't succeed,' Xu Lei thought to himself, 'it doesn't mean the matter is over!
I need to observe him for a while longer.
If I can confirm that his previous actions toward me were truly malicious...
