Li Ji sparred verbally with Wu Wang for a while.
This Wu Wang appeared gentle and kind, the very picture of an amiable man. In reality, he was incredibly shrewd. He spoke a great deal, but not a single word was of any use—it was all just pointless nonsense.
He was like a slippery eel, giving no one anything to grab onto.
If Li Ji didn't have the cheat code of his Mind Reading Technique, he probably would have been fooled by Wu Wang.
But that was just a hypothetical.
In fact, using his Mind Reading Technique, Li Ji had already heard Wu Wang's true thoughts loud and clear—
'He asked so many questions at once. He must suspect me.'
'I should have covered my tracks perfectly. How could he possibly suspect me?'
'No matter what, I can't let him get a handle on me.'
'Later, I'll have to find a way to eliminate this threat.'
...
Li Ji was now almost certain that Wu Wang was the mastermind who had pulled the strings and forced Prince Dongyang to rebel.
But he had no proof.
