Chapter 874: Too Dumb
The thin old man hesitated, "Hall Master, will anyone really believe this?"
The Eighth Hall Master chuckled, "Do you know what lies are the easiest to believe? Lies that are half-truths."
"I am in utter awe of your wisdom, Hall Master!"
"Puahahaha!" The Eighth Hall Master laughed heartily. "That is such an obvious flattery."
"I'm not flattering you, Hall Master. I can see the bigger picture that you are drawing. If we make Ye Guan's background too weak, the world will think that our Evil Dao Alliance is trying to use everyone as our borrowed knives to do our dirty work. If we praise Ye Guan and make his backers appear stronger than they really are, those experts will believe that Ye Guan truly has the inheritance of a Tier Five civilization," the thin old man explained. He hesitated briefly before asking, "What if they get afraid of that lady in a plain skirt and dare not to act?"
The Eighth Hall Master sneered, "That is exactly why we must emphasize that she's severely injured and can only make a move twice every one hundred years."
"I see," the thin old man said, bowing deeply. He turned around to leave, but the Eighth Hall Master said, "Wait."
The Eighth Hall Master opened his palm, and a storage ring suddenly flew from across the distant hall.
The storage ring contained thirty Eternal Crystals.
