Based on what he knew regarding Luo Lan, he might not be able to trust his young man fully. However, he could make use of him. After all, Luo Lan's personality conflicted greatly with the way Wang Luo Sect raised their disciples.
He wanted to take this gamble.
Because of that, Lin Xiao dared to ask Luo Lan openly and allowed him to hear what he was talking about with others.
Luo Lan was stunned. He looked at Lin Xiao and then narrowed his eyes. "Are you sure you're going to ask me something like that? Wang Luo Sect disciples know no loyalty and there's no guarantee that I wouldn't stab you on the back after you say something like that. What do you think the sect will do if they know that you plan to go against them?"
"You won't report it."
"What…?"
"Because you don't care for the sect."
