When Yang Yao recounted the past, his gaze was intense and direct.
He wasn't lying; this was his true intention, and he had acted upon it.
"But in the eyes of the world, you were truly seeking an alliance with Fake Qi," Shen Yue said with a frown.
It was because of this that Huang Cheng and others harbored discontent toward Yang Yao, which also contributed to their betrayal of him.
However, the truth was far more complicated than what met the eye.
Yang Yao said indifferently, "How can one who aspires to great achievements get entangled in minor details? If I can kill Kong Yanzhou to avenge Brother Zhong, what does this little misunderstanding count for? If I can't deceive others, how could I ever have lured the sly and ghostly Kong Yanzhou into the trap? It's just that..."
With a light sigh, Yang Yao said no more.
All had passed.
No matter how shrewd his plans were, they ultimately came to naught due to the disintegration among brothers.
