Yang Ge put away his smile and said softly, not too slow or too fast, "It's not just because we are friends, but also because the most pressing matter for Lianhuan Fort right now is to keep its holdings, while those who would create waves and fuel the fire are those looking to expand territory."
"The court and the martial arts world have been too friendly for too long, so long that the vermin hiding in the sewers can't find an opportunity to cause trouble. My killing of that old eunuch in the Imperial Horse Supervisor made them see an opportunity, but the waters are too clear right now. They're all trying to muddy the waters together, hoping to fish in troubled waters," Yang Ge continued.
"What you just said makes sense, people always say immortals are good, but they can't forget about fame and wealth..."
The dandy young man frowned, "So they are using you as a pawn? Doesn't that bother you?"
Yang Ge: "Honestly, I don't feel much of anything."
