"...He probably doesn't think it's necessary to kill you right now, so he just wants to make things difficult for you, to let you suffer a bit. It would be best if you returned from the mountains defeated, to dampen your spirit, lest your reputation at Heavenly Unity Sect becomes too prominent and affects his authority in the future!"
Gu Shi Yi's explanation seemed reasonable.
Pu Yanlan thought for a moment and then nodded, saying,
"Shiyi, you're right!"
Shiyi had wandered the Itinerant World for a long time, her vision sharp and piercing, better at reading people than herself. What she said was certainly correct!
Pu Yanlan frowned and said,
"Master said his seclusion would take several years. During these years, with our senior brother managing affairs at Golden Yuan Cave, should I... avoid him a bit?"
Although he wouldn't harm her, his hidden sabotage was hard to guard against. She wholeheartedly wanted to cultivate and had no desire to engage in scheming with others!
