Li Zhe felt wronged. "You didn't clarify what I was supposed to do. I just did as you instructed," he complained.

Guan Lei knew a lost cause when he saw one. Nothing he said would get through to Li Zhe, and he did not want to waste his breath. Indeed, Meng Yu was a bad influence on Li Zhe. Now, even he was growing more annoying by the day.

Li Zhe puffed out his chest, spreading his arms wide as if to parade the glory of his outfit. "What do you think? Don't I look poor?"
