Temptation

Lin Mu thought a bit more about the Fen Clan's situation and got more confused.

'Rather than searching like this, why don't they go to actual ancient clans that still exist or even the cultivation sects that are far more likely to have a solution?' Lin Mu thought.

"You're forgetting something," Xukong suddenly spoke in Lin Mu's mind.

"What is it, senior?" Lin Mu asked.

"Do you think they can afford that? Or whether those ancient clans or the cultivation sects will entertain them?" Xukong replied.

Lin Mu heard senior Xukong's word and came to a realization.

"Of course… how did I miss that…" Lin Mu muttered.

"Often there are solutions to problems that one knows about, but those solutions are unreachable. And sometimes pursuing them can lead to further trouble. Thus, rather than doing that, people prefer to toil in the pursuit of another solution that is hard to find but still could be possible." Xukong stated.
