Seeing how quickly Yang Xiao's expression changed, as if he were flipping through a book, the old man couldn't help but smile wryly and shake his head.
"You, boy, are quite convincing in your act. You've been waiting for this moment from your master, haven't you?"
"Master, your disciple wouldn't dare!"
Yang Xiao hastened to speak, not wanting to confirm the old man's speculation.
"You wouldn't dare? Is there anything in this world you would fear? Everyone knows Yang Xiao, the bold and brazen madman, would dare to wrestle emperors from their thrones! It's only your lesser experience compared to your master that holds you back. Otherwise, with the illustrious military achievements you've made overseas these years, you'd likely have already taken your master's place! It will be extremely difficult for you to leave; the country would do anything to keep you!"
