Chapter 217: Making Their Move
Li Musheng glanced at the hemp-robed elderly man and the six courtesans surrounding him, and raised an eyebrow slightly.
He genuinely could not fathom how the old man had the nerve to say that with a straight face.
He did not particularly care about the matter, however, and simply waved a hand, saying, "What do you want to ask?"
Hearing this, the hemp-robed elderly man was quiet for a moment, then sent a transmission through a thread of condensed True Qi, saying, "This old one wishes to know why the Great Li court has suddenly moved against Falling God Peak. What exactly do you have to rely on?"
Li Musheng narrowed his eyes and looked at him with a composed air, saying, "Do you think I would tell you something that important?"
At those words, the hemp-robed elderly man immediately fell silent. He knew perfectly well in his own heart that the question had been abrupt. After all, whatever ace the Great Li court held against Falling God Peak would naturally be an enormous secret, and there was no reason it would be shared with an outsider.
But right at that moment, Li Musheng continued, "Of course, if you genuinely want to know, I do not mind telling you."
The hemp-robed elderly man's expression shifted at once, and he hurriedly waved the courtesans around him to stop what they were doing, saying, "Young master truly means this?"
Li Musheng gave a slight nod, then said in an entirely casual manner, "The two questions you just asked actually have only one answer. And that answer is naturally... me."
