Lin Rui pondered that he had indeed been somewhat negligent recently. Could even Li Xianglong, an outsider of the Imperial City Department, see that he was just pretending?
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): General, what I am doing is called "feigning reluctance." Purgatory clearly wants to lure me out of the city to ambush me, but they have to show real sincerity. How is such a tiny fragment enough? It's obviously just a little bit scraped off the Divine Tablet to fish for me.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): They want me to risk leaving the city, they must show a real piece of the Divine Tablet, not these fragmented dummy goods.
This was his prepared excuse, one he had used before to deceive his good friend Han Baxian.
Li Xianglong: I see, so this is what you think? It sounds very logical.
Li Xianglong: A good display of reluctance. You really can't seem too invested. Just follow this policy, and I will keep an eye on them for you.
