Huo Jingchuan reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and let out a cold laugh. "Do you really have the nerve to show off such a petty trick? If you genuinely wanted to fool us, you should have at least made it cleaner. The waves outside were quite convincing, but the island we were actually on didn't change its distance for hours. Too fake. You might fool an inexperienced little fool like Nan Xing, but you've reminded me that I need to train her observational skills much more in the future."
Tong Zhuo looked relieved. "I never would have thought of that. A single oversight on my part, my mistake. Still, is that the only reason you deduced we were still in the original place?"
"I wasn't certain at first," Huo Jingchuan said with a look of disdain. "But you were far too impatient. You kept appearing before Nan Xing and me over and over, monitoring our conversations without a second thought, acting so smug. Was all that really necessary? You were clearly trying to cover something up, refusing to give us any time to think. While I'm not familiar with this place, I know my own body. My unconsciousness wouldn't have lasted that long, and we have plenty of our own people outside. To transport us out to sea in such a short time—your abilities would have to reach the heavens, yet you don't look like someone capable of that at all."
