Chen Xi's praise also piqued Guo Jia's interest. With Chen Xi assuming responsibility, Guo Jia reached for the book and quickly skimmed through its contents before starting to ponder. Soon, he had a thorough understanding of the entire text.
"You've misunderstood," Guo Jia said after returning the book to Chen Xi.
"How is that possible? My comprehension can't be that poor," Chen Xi retorted, glaring at Guo Jia.
"You've misunderstood the teachings of this book. Your understanding is fine regarding domestic matters, but you are mistaken about foreign ones. The hegemony described in this book is not the same as what you think," Guo Jia said with a twist of his mouth. The book was given by someone from Lyu Bu's side, and that person must be with Lyu Bu. Surely, the so-called hegemony could not be about simply defeating opponents.
"There's no issue with it," Chen Xi obviously didn't grasp what Guo Jia was saying.
