"This really turned us into the thorn in the eyes of the Meteor Star Guard and the Purgatory Sect, a thorn in their flesh."
Gu Chaoyang watched Chen Jiwen leave, his expression tinged with solemnity.
"Shouldn't this be a good thing?"
Gu Jinlai said, "I read a passage in a book: When they can beat you, they find even searching for a justifiable reason troublesome; when they investigate you repeatedly, it proves that they are not completely confident; when they attack you with public opinion, it shows that they can hardly take advantage of you through aggression; when they sit at the negotiation table with you, it proves that they need to compromise with you. Some of it might not apply, but the principle is the same."
Gu Chaoyang seemed enlightened upon hearing this.
"However, negotiation and compromise alone are not enough."
Gu Jinlai said, "Next, when you can draw your sword from its sheath, every word you utter will become the truth."
