"It's not manipulation, it's cooperation. Truly impressive that Fei Peilie can say this with a straight face. Ning Fan neither affirmed nor denied his words—maybe it's exactly as he said."
"This isn't about manipulation or scheming. It genuinely is just a partnership."
"Even if Fei Peilie wanted to manipulate someone, it wouldn't be Ning Fan—it would be those unruly ancient martial artists we're dealing with."
"And now, since he, Teng Yun Geshang, and Ning Fan are collaborators, using the partnership as a means to discipline his subordinates doesn't really count as scheming…"
Thinking this, Ning Fan was mentally preparing himself for what would come next. He couldn't help but tease, "Those people bother you that much?"
"If I could, I'd even deal with them myself!"
Fei Peilie's expression carried a hint of murderous intent. He really did want to take action, but his peculiar status made it difficult for him to make a move against those people.
