"Oh, you're talking about that?"
Yang Tiansheng had a sudden realization, then raised a finger leisurely and said, "First, our Sect Hierarch inquiring about Yang Ge's strength doesn't mean he plans to move against him. People at their level... you know, they like to have everything under control, understand everything thoroughly. The sudden emergence of Yang Ge, especially his invincible attitude ready to beat everyone who disagrees, certainly made them think of ways to figure out his true strength and prepare multiple contingency plans. Better safe than sorry!"
While speaking, he raised a second finger, "Second, I've known Yang Ge for many years and concluded one thing—never use the past to judge the current Yang Ge. Even Yang Ge from just three to five months ago might be vastly different from now... Just look at Yang Ge now, then look at me. Can you imagine, when I first met him, I was the one beating him down?"
