"If that's the case, why didn't you contact me directly?"

Meng Chao thought about it and asked, "Even if you didn't have my contact information, you were clearly there when I went to check the place, where Tailless Monkey lived, with Ai Lei. You even left a mark of time."

"I believed that you must've had your own reasons for not wanting to publicize the news of your return to Dragon City.

"Your secret was your most important weapon. Why would I destroy it?

"Aside from that, there's a more important reason. If I had shown up and confessed everything to you, would you have believed me?"

Meng Chao was stunned.
