"What does he want? It's obvious he's just playing with you, and you're only realizing it now. I really don't understand how someone with your IQ managed to become a Grand Elder."
Chen Pingchuan complained about Elder Ye Hu's thought process. He couldn't understand why she would so easily place her life in someone else's hands. If it were him, he would have at least put up a fight. He might have even won. And even if he lost, could the situation possibly be any worse than this?
In truth, it was understandable that Chen Pingchuan was confused. Although he had been in this world for three years, he had never set foot outside the outer districts of Spring City. As such, he couldn't objectively grasp the mindsets and cognitive frameworks of this world. On the surface, the continent was ruled by the Royal Family of the Great Ming Empire. In reality, however, its territory had long been carved up and occupied by different, self-governing civilizations.
