The man in the black robe wore a mocking smile. "You're indeed smart, but don't underestimate the people of this village; they are truly here by their own will."
"For their own benefit, they are willing to sacrifice others. I'm just taking advantage of them," he continued.
Shao He clenched her fists tightly, anger burning in her chest, "No matter who you are, I will never let you succeed."
The man's smile became more sly. "Do you have the ability to stop me? Even the Fifth Prince couldn't, can you?"
"Have you seen Pei Huaian?" Shao He was somewhat excited, wanting to know if Pei Huaian was safe.
The man in the black robe raised an eyebrow, "If you want to see him, follow me."
Pei Hanze tightly grabbed Shao He's arm, fearing she would impulsively follow the man in the black robe.
"His words cannot be trusted. Pei Huaian is no fool; he wouldn't be caught so easily," Pei Hanze's piercing eyes examined the man.
