Liu Bei only nodded with a smile without saying anything, while Chen Xi patted Hua Xiong's shoulder, and Hua Xiong had to leave with a gloomy expression, completely unaware that everything he had wanted had already been achieved. Zhang Xiu, on the other hand, seemed to have some sense, recognizing certain things.
"Zijian, truly a fool," Liu Bei said with a smile to Chen Xi after the bottom-ranked Hua Xiong had also left.
"If he weren't a fool, he wouldn't have directly brought Zhang Boyuan to Lord Xuande's presence, but let this be a one-time occurrence," Chen Xi shook his head and said. Hua Xiong bringing Zhang Xiu over had indeed surprised Chen Xi, but recalling Hua Xiong's mind, Chen Xi felt there was nothing amiss.
