However, that reasoning apparently only applied to swordsmen of equal rank. If it were about snatching the Dragon Blood Stone from the hands of these wet-behind-the-ears kids like Mu Hanyan, he probably wouldn't feel any psychological pressure at all. The strong are revered; isn't that just the natural order of things?
"That was said to those kids, not to the two of them," Qu Shanhai said dismissively.
"Oh, does seem like that's the case?" Chen Pingfeng recalled the earlier moment when Qu Shanhai had asked the other two if they had any objections, which indeed targeted Mu Hanyan's proposal. Although it seemed somewhat shameless, it was also justifiable, and so he didn't say much more about it.
As Qu Shanhai spoke, he didn't even give Mu Hanyan a second glance. Had Chen Pingfeng not preemptively agreed to Mu Hanyan's request, Qu Shanhai wouldn't have even given him the chance to try. Of course, even with Chen Pingfeng's agreement, he saw it as futile.
