"Mr. Hong, is it possible that these two are pretending to understand, or do they actually have broad knowledge?" Lu Yuehan asked through secret communication.
Hong Qi pondered, "Jing Yan might not understand everything, but they are communicating secretly. It's unclear exactly what they're saying, though it's likely Jing Yan is asking and Zhao Xing is answering."
"Oh?" Lu Yuehan was a bit puzzled. It wouldn't be surprising if Jing Yan knew more, given his background in the Empire where it's normal to have more exposure.
Zhao Xing, however, had only ascended for a few hundred years and was a native. This inversion seemed curious; how could this be the case?
"With our sect's matters, he usually shows no confusion. As for the curious and rare items from other paths, he understands most and shows little interest in whatever he doesn't."
Hong Qi hadn't taken his eyes off Zhao Xing. As a Great Divine Power scholar, analyzing movements came effortlessly.
