But the following questioning almost made Sang Yi furious.
When Sang Yi wanted to know why Luo Chen knew him so well, Luo Chen started to lie and refused to tell the truth.
Instead, he rambled on about this and that, but never got to the point that Sang Yi wanted to know.
After one or two times, Sang Yi realized that Luo Chen was doing this on purpose and didn't want to tell him the truth at all.
There's no way he could know the answer to that question.
Luo Chen naturally wouldn't tell him the truth, but teasing Sang Yi was still an option.
After all, how could someone like the system possibly know about it, especially someone from the protagonist's faction? It's even less likely that they would.
But when Sang Yi asked the second question, Luo Chen still gave him the answer.
Upon hearing what had happened, Sang Yi felt somewhat annoyed.
If he had known he would be discovered, he wouldn't have made a move when he went to the Tianlai Building to cut off the power.
I originally thought that no one would know about his martial arts skills, since they had been lost in the martial arts world for so long.
If the old man doesn't take action, no one in the younger generation could possibly know what it is, but unexpectedly, Luo Chen actually knows.
Moreover, they know quite a lot.
This puzzled Sang Yi. Since Luo Chen knew the reason for this martial art, how could he be sure it was him? And how did he discover his plan through such a thing?
At first glance, it didn't seem like a big problem, but upon closer inspection, there were problems everywhere, especially since he had already concluded that Luo Chen was not in Yan Province, but in Ning City.
But then it suddenly appeared here, and that's the biggest problem.
This is how Luo Chen answered the question.
"You should know that when you advance to the Transcendent Realm, you become more sensitive to your surroundings than ordinary people. If you are being monitored, it will be easy to find out."
"I believe you already know my strength from the two large bags I gave you earlier. How could I not notice it under such circumstances?"
"Besides, you can send people to monitor me and pass information to you, so why can't I do the opposite and create information to pass to you?"
"..."
Sang Yi was speechless. Luo Chen's intelligence was not what he thought at all; he was someone who could be easily crushed.
This humiliating defeat left Sang Yi blushing, yet he didn't know how to refute it.
[...]
"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say, and everything I shouldn't have said..."
Luo Chen slowly stood up and said, "In this situation, you can't turn things around. Just obediently accept the punishment for your mistakes, and maybe I'll be merciful and give you a lighter punishment."
Sang Yi is a brilliant and resourceful strategist who plays a significant role in the story, helping the protagonist Ye Feng overcome many dangers.
Such a person should not be punished. According to the usual villains, they would definitely show a look of appreciation for talent and want to bring Sang Yi under their control so that their own camp can make greater progress.
But for Luo Chen, such a thought was impossible.
Although he is also a villain, he has no intention of recruiting Sang Yi to work under his command.
On the one hand, this would cause more trouble, since Sang Yi belongs to the protagonist's camp and his heart is with the protagonist.
Even if they seem to have submitted now, they may still turn against you in the end.
Having read so many novels, I've seen villains recruit people around the protagonist, only to either fail or feign submission as if they were truly willing.
But in the end, at the most crucial moment, they will stab the villain in the back, then betray him and return to the protagonist's side.
There are just too many such scenarios.
As a seasoned bookworm from the original real world, Luo Chen naturally understood this principle.
He wouldn't even consider getting Sang Yi to do things for him.
If Sang Yi hasn't had any contact with the protagonist yet, then it's still worth considering.
But now, that possibility is zero.
Moreover, Luo Chen wouldn't forget all the disgusting things Sang Yi had done.
I will choose to forgive.
The punishment that should be given must still be given; otherwise, things will always go wrong.
Moreover, Sang Yi's capture will also cause the protagonist Ye Feng to lose an arm.
We've lost such a cunning strategist.
Even though Ye Feng is the King of the Northern Frontier and a Tiger General.
Luo Chen really wants to test his skills against him right now, given what happened with Ye Lin.
It's unlikely that he and Ye Feng can coexist peacefully.
Since that's the case, why don't we see who's better?
After all, he's no longer a simp.
[...]
Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, Sang Yi immediately became more vigilant; obediently submitting was out of the question.
As one of the top ten generals of the northern frontier, he was also supported by the Tiger Commander.
How could he possibly obediently listen to Luo Chen and accept punishment?
However, Luo Chen's strength was considerable, and with Wolf Fang standing at the entrance, escaping through the gate became extremely difficult.
Sang Yi's eyes darted around, glancing towards the French windows.
The window has a sturdy structure that can prevent some unexpected accidents. It would take an ordinary person some effort to break the glass.
It's made in China, after all, so it's very sturdy.
But for a martial artist, none of this matters.
Sang Yi subtly withdrew his gaze, while restraining his emotions to prevent Luo Chen from noticing.
Sang Yi spoke up, trying to divert some attention.
"Luo Chen, you won this time, I admit that, but there's not much hatred between us..."
"Do you think accepting punishment is appropriate?"
This somewhat conciliatory tone made Luo Chen frown slightly: "What effect do you think saying these things now will have?"
"Or is it that, even now, there was still a period of easing tensions between us?"
"..."
Sang Yi's expression turned grim again. He said, "Why can't there be a compromise? You haven't lost anything. Even if you have, I can help you get it back, and you might even get more. With my strength, this is no problem at all."
"As the saying goes, you can't be friends without fighting. It's better to have one more friend than one less enemy. This time, I was indeed wrong, but I still want to be your friend. Who knows, we might be able to help each other out in the future."
Sang Yi was thinking that if Luo Chen really agreed to let things go peacefully this time, then once he escaped from here, he would definitely give Luo Chen a good beating in the future.
The plan failed because the information from the intelligence group was misplaced.
But after this contact...
Sang Yi believed that when he made a comeback, he would definitely not lose to Luo Chen again, and might even trample Luo Chen underfoot.
They ruthlessly ravaged it.
