"He knows resistance is futile, so he's playing dumb and hoping against hope," laughed someone. "Could it be that he wants Elder Brother Ji to show mercy with this act?"
"He's already incurred such hate from Elder Brother Ji with his previous attack, expecting mercy from him now is delusional!"
"You've all guessed wrong. He's not hoping for Elder Brother Ji's mercy, but for the mercy of the Sect Elders!" a man with a twinkle of wisdom in his eyes said lightly, "He wants the Sect Elders to call off the competition."
Many nodded at this man's explanation, as it seemed to fit Zheng Ming's current predicament. Someone then said, "That's wishful thinking. He'll probably just be wasting his effort."
"Even though the Head Seat is compassionate, he would not allow anyone to challenge the status of our Wanxiang Lineage."
Jiang Yuan was not concerned with what these disciples were discussing. His gaze was fixed intensively on Zheng Ming's movements.
