Chapter 1471 - 1470: Su Yang Was Deceived
Seeing Su Yang’s expression, Wu Zheng couldn’t help but laugh inwardly.
Everyone says Su Yang is as shrewd as they come, but look at this—just a few words from me, and he’s completely fooled!
Su Yang looked furious, remaining silent for a long while as if struggling to figure out how to deny the matter. At last, he let out a long sigh, as though resigning himself to fate. He raised his head to glance at Wu Zheng and asked softly, "Protector Wu, did you really hear this from people at Qinghe Academy?"
Su Yang’s words were tantamount to a full admission of the matter.
Wu Zheng was secretly overjoyed. His biggest concern had been Su Yang denying it outright. If that happened, he might have been forced to resort to threats.
But instead, with just one bluff, he managed to draw the truth out, saving himself a great deal of trouble. Negotiating the next steps would be far easier now!
"Master Su, why bother worrying about who said it?" Wu Zheng said with a light chuckle. "Though it’s true that it’s good to keep a low profile, sometimes being overly discreet can backfire, wouldn’t you agree?"
Su Yang sighed deeply. "Protector Wu, there’s an old saying: ’A common man is innocent, but carrying a valuable treasure invites calamity.’ Given my abilities and what I possess, do you think I’m better off staying low-key or being more open?"
"Heh..." Wu Zheng chuckled faintly. "That’s a reasonable point, but occasionally leveraging the resources at hand can help you accomplish even greater things. Always hoarding secrets, always staying hidden—you might actually miss out on many opportunities."
