"After all..."
Hongyi added meaningfully, "A person of great fortune often means they are affluent and have extraordinary opportunities."
Xu Ping frowned slightly, sharply grasping Hongyi's intention: "Fellow Daoist Hong intends to use me as bait?"
Being bait often implies danger, especially when facing a Peak of Early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, the danger multiplies.
Even with his physique comparable to a quasi-Fourth Rank in Body Refining, if he is not careful, there is still a risk to his life.
"Exactly."
Hongyi nodded straightforwardly, admitting it without any cover-up or words of disguise.
The two had known each other for a hundred years, knowing each other's characters and temperaments thoroughly, naturally understanding that it's best to clarify things.
Feigning politeness would only arouse the other's vigilance and antipathy.
