Gao Fei shook his head, "Things aren't as simple as you imagine."
"Ah?"
"What's complicated about it?"
Chen San and Liu Qing were both stunned.
"Dongfang Jian is the son-in-law of the Human Emperor, and I have an irreconcilable feud with Dongfang Jian. Logically and emotionally, the Human Emperor shouldn't have promoted me," Gao Fei voiced his doubts, "If you were in their shoes, would you promote your son-in-law's enemy?"
"Now that you mention it, it does seem a bit off," Chen San frowned.
"Maybe... the Human Emperor acts with justice, not taking into account the grudge between you and Dongfang Jian..." Liu Qing spoke with uncertainty.
Gao Fei curled his lip, "That's highly unlikely, almost negligible." He had dealt with the Human Emperor before and knew he wasn't a just and unselfish man.
"So you're saying there's a conspiracy?"
"If the Human Emperor wanted to plot against me, he could have just done it openly, there's no need to go through so much trouble."
