Chen Kuang spoke up at this moment, not to truly back down, but to make Shen Xingzhu state her conditions.
He wanted to bait Shen Xingzhu.
Since now the enemy was hidden and he was exposed, and Shen Xingzhu seemed to have some intentions, he decided to show weakness and get her to reveal something.
As long as Shen Xingzhu spoke, it would undoubtedly be a condition favorable to her, perhaps related to her hidden motive.
Chen Kuang could judge whether what she said was true or false. Just by guiding her with a few words, he could naturally figure out what she was thinking.
Then, he would reject her request, and Shen Xingzhu's purpose would immediately fall apart.
But this was only the best-case scenario.
Chen Kuang didn't have high expectations either; it would be best if he could catch something with the bait he casually threw, but it wouldn't matter if he couldn't.
However, Shen Xingzhu, upon hearing this, fell silent for a while.
