Chapter 448 - 345. Concealing poison with one’s life
The Taiye Pond was silent, with no sound of frogs or cicadas.
Bai Long stood with his hands behind his back, moonlight pouring down, his white clothes in the dark night seemed to emit a faint glow.
He quietly examined Chen Ji in front of him, ignoring the clothes and boots, focusing only on the eyes.
This was Chen Ji’s first genuine interaction with this Bai Long. The other party’s gaze, less sharp and manic, was more cautious and calm.
His way of doing things was quite different.
After a moment of scrutiny, Bai Long slowly spoke, "You seem a bit uneasy, as if you’re betting on whether Mr. Feng deceived you."
Chen Ji calmly said, "Whether I bet right or wrong doesn’t matter. Sir, you have just taken over Bai Long’s position, and you must need some capable hands. Now the Top Three positions are vacant, and the ambitious zodiacs are all vying for them, thinking they too have a chance to become one of the Top Three and no longer have to rely on others. For example, the Xuan Snake probably has no interest in helping you now and only wants to make a remarkable achievement."
Bai Long did not comment and asked indifferently, "What else did Mr. Feng say?"
Chen Ji quickly glanced at Bai Long and then humbly said, "Mr. Feng also said that you are a person of principle and emotion, who would never mistreat your subordinates; he also said you are protective and would never treat your subordinates as cannon fodder; lastly, he praised your exceptional prowess, following you is bound to lead to a promising future."
