Chapter 1157

Then Kasarst left.

Watching Kasarst's retreating figure, a fear that could hardly be concealed shone in the middle-aged man's eyes.

But soon, he returned to normal.

Kasarst's gaze swept around.

He found that everyone had left, even the others; only he and Li Yue remained.

My lord, what business do you have with me?

The middle-aged man's gaze fell on Li Yue, and he spoke to ask.

At this moment, his heartbeat had reached its extreme.

Heh, don't be nervous; I simply wish to chat with you alone.

Hearing these words.

The middle-aged man's heart skipped a beat.

How could he feel that Lord Chenxi did not merely wish to chat with him, but had other intentions?

He thought this in his heart.

Yet he dared not speak it aloud, fearing he might anger the other.

My lord, if you have anything to say, just give the order directly.

Li Yue looked at the other with a smile.

I heard that during a cordon-and-sweep operation, you managed to withdraw unscathed; this truly surprises me greatly. Know this: even I, if I wished to withdraw unscathed, would find it absolutely no easy task. So...

Having said this, Li Yue paused, his gaze fixed on the other.

Being stared at by Li Yue's gaze, the other felt a chill in his heart; a cold wave shot straight to his heart, making every hair on his body stand on end.

So, I am very curious how you did it. Can you tell me how you escaped death?

The corner of Li Yue's mouth lifted.

A smile hung on his face.

This smile, however, caused an ominous foreboding to rise in the middle-aged man's heart.

As for this matter, I do not know how to explain it; I merely relied on one person's luck.

The middle-aged man's tone carried a hint of bitterness.

Oh? Luck?

Upon hearing these words, the smile on Li Yue's face grew even more intense, and he asked: You say your luck is very good; then tell me, what kind of luck allowed you to return without a single scratch?

The middle-aged man looked at Li Yue, remained silent for a few seconds, then said: Lord Chenxi, to be frank, the truth is I was able to return only because I pretended to be dead. But this situation, I truly dare not tell our lord. So I beg Lord Chenxi to spare me this once.

After hearing this explanation, the smile on Li Yue's face grew even brighter.

This middle-aged man, though appearing humble on the surface, was in fact a cunning character to the utmost.

"Pretend to be dead? What a fine 'pretend to be dead.' As far as I know, the Demon Clan quickly cleans the battlefield after a battle; they would absolutely not allow anyone to leave their sight alive."

"And you, after pretending to be dead, were still able to return safely; do you not think the flaw here is very large?"

On Li Yue's face, the smile grew even brighter.

After hearing Li Yue's words, the middle-aged man's face instantly turned pale.

What do you mean by this?

You should know what I mean better than I do, shouldn't you?

The middle-aged man: Five.
