Chapter 950: A Divine Crystal.
Martial Will’s suspicion was naked and his prejudice of her intentions unmasked. But she had a thick face and even thicker skin, so she wasn’t bothered by the fact that he was on the verge of calling her a lair to her face.She replied, saying, "Yes, it is so. We worked so well just now. I thought it was a good idea to extend that alliance of cooperation into the future. It is not as if I have anyone to count on right now."
Her words seemed to light a bomb fuse within Martial Will, who erupted in anger, saying, "This bitch! We were trying to form a cooperative alliance with you earlier, but you kept giving us excuses. Now you want to work with some dragon you just met?"
Heavenly Eye also became angry at being questioned and refused to back down. She asked in anger, "Yes. That’s my plan. What of it?"
Seeing that he couldn’t get her to make sense, Martial Will turned to Tepid Scholar, "Are you seeing this?"
Tepid Scholar nodded in reply and said, "I am. As for her motivations, I think it is clear that the dragon must have something she wants. Whether that is a partner for an alliance, a secret motive, or the fact that she has already been working with the dragon and is responsible for the dragon being able to hide until this moment, only time will tell."
This explanation was all Martial Will needed to justify an argument. The flames of anger within him were stoked as he said, "I’m sure her motivations are nefarious. I’m sure she is scheming something. This might have something to do with why she wanted to descend earlier to kill the dragon?"
Tepid Scholar corrected him, saying, "You mean when she claimed to want to kill the dragon. Who knows what she really meant to do?"
Heavenly Eye had had enough. She sighed and said, "What is the problem here? I made a deal with him to help him target our greatest enemy. He did his part of his deal, and I did mine. Is that a sin?"
Martial Will answered her question, "Yes, it is a sin. Especially since you didn’t have to fulfill your part of the deal so soon and especially since you didn’t have to be so helpful. You practically told him everything to watch out for as if he is your illegitimate son. Is that it? Do you have a son we don’t know about?"
Black Chains, who had been listening in the background, chose this moment to snort and say, "A son? I won’t be surprised."
Heavenly Eye ignored him and said to Martial Will, "If I was related to him or had a previous understanding and cooperative alliance, I would have told him the barest minimum just now. Then I would have told him the rest later in secret."
"I wouldn’t have told him so much to make you so suspicious. I’m not that stupid. But if I were as stupid as you believe me to be, I also would have told him about how the qualifications one uses to advance will also determine their potential for assimilating different pathways."
