At a glance, Wang Zongyao could see Li Wujie's cultivation clearly. Nine-star Elite at such a young age was indeed impressive, a genuine prodigy.
But compared to Ryan…
There was no comparison at all.
If Li Wujie was a one-star genius, then Ryan was at least a ten-star genius, perhaps more.
Did Zhu Yan truly not know Ryan's strength?
Suppressing his doubts, Wang Zongyao understood Ryan's hint. With Zhu Yan still present, this was not the place to clarify matters.
"Brother Zhu," Wang Zongyao said calmly, "why don't you attend to your duties? I'll have a private chat with these two young men."
"Yes, Brother Wang." Zhu Yan nodded respectfully, though before leaving, he gave Ryan one last deep, puzzled look, then withdrew.
Once Zhu Yan was gone, Wang Zongyao finally let out a breath and turned to Ryan with a smile.
"Alright," he said, amused. "Care to explain what's going on?"
Ryan smiled faintly. "Uncle Wang, were you looking for me… or my younger brother here?"
