"Sir, I have come this time bearing truly major news." Restraining his excitement, Deng Hu revealed the purpose of his visit. Knowing time was limited, he dared not waste words and cut straight to the point. "As far as I know, a peerless beauty arrived at Qiong Mountain a few days ago. Such a creature, this humble one believes, is a perfect match for you, Sir, which is why I brought this good news to you at the first possible moment."
Actually, he had learned of Li Dai through Tan Lang, who had described her in such hyperbolic terms that it truly piqued his interest. However, after sending men to gather information and accidentally acquiring a recording stone of Li Dai from someone who had witnessed the showdown between Tan Lang and the Invincible Mercenary Team, he realized he could never keep a top-tier prize like her for himself. Furthermore, there was that woman Lian He, and he could not afford to lose the backing of her Poison Granny and the others. Therefore, regarding Li Dai, Deng Hu acted with a measure of rational restraint and refrained from taking her for his own. He might not have many virtues, but possessing self-awareness and knowing how to bend and stretch were his greatest strengths.
Even knowing that Tan Lang had shared the information about Li Dai in hopes that he would help exact revenge and settle the score, Deng Hu had kept him steady while realizing that bringing news of Li Dai to Shen Xiaoyun would surely yield him tremendous benefits.
