Chi Qingqiu was not one to lack intelligence; if he were, he wouldn't have been able to secure his current position.
Therefore, he dared to coerce Deng JiuShou and dared to turn against him, having considered everything thoroughly.
He was well aware that even if Deng JiuShou was reluctant, after such a declaration, he would surely choose to compromise.
After all, Deng JiuShou was also a wise man; if he were stubbornly foolish, he wouldn't have survived in this world for over a hundred years.
How to maximize the benefits of a situation was something Deng JiuShou understood very clearly.
Thus, Deng JiuShou promptly reined in the fierceness on his face.
The overwhelming aura that almost made one believe he would strike at Chi Qingqiu dissolved in an instant, as if it had never been there at all.
He merely gazed deeply at Chi Qingqiu, his eyes betraying complex emotions.
