It must be said that Cao Qiu was very clever.
He knew very well that only with the protection of the Xuanyuan Madman could he possibly escape with his life.
Regarding Long Chen's strength, although last time the fight took place underwater, no matter what, it ultimately involved him and Hua Qingfeng two against one, yet they couldn't overcome him.
Now that Long Chen had returned to his peak condition, it seemed unwise to fight him again; the chances of victory were very low.
The Xuanyuan Madman was also a wily old fox and clearly understood what Cao Qiu intended to do.
He still wanted to use Hua Qingfeng and Cao Qiu, so, seizing the opportunity, the Xuanyuan Madman turned to Long Chen and said, "Young man, it's better to resolve differences than to escalate them. There's no need for excessive ruthlessness. Wouldn't it be better to sit down, share a drink, and talk, transforming enmity into friendship?"
