Li Yan's pupils slightly contracted, as he asked softly, "Third Brother... are your words a personal sentiment, or do they represent someone's warning?"
"What do you mean?" Zheng Yixuan slightly frowned, seemingly not expecting him to say that.
"It's nothing." Li Yan exhaled a smoke ring and sighed, "I was cultivated by 'him,' and 'he' wants me to be an assassin, so can I escape? I don't dare to 'escape' either."
This matter, after all, needs to be brought up. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Yan straightforwardly clarified a bit.
"Are you talking about... the boss?" Zheng Yixuan laughed, then spoke seriously, "My earlier words were my own advice to you, not a warning from the boss. Ultimately, I'm older than you and have seen and encountered more things than you have. This time your gains are substantial, but I'm afraid you'll be unable to resist the greed, indulging in such shortcuts, which truly is a dangerous thing!"
