Ju Yunhai understood Sister Jia's intention; if the Qingming Sword was truly taken, then going to the secluded place of the Gu family's ancestor would be a wasted trip.
Sister Jia clearly wanted Ju Yunhai to give up on going to the secluded retreat.
"Whether the Qingming Sword has been taken, and by whom, can only be understood by going to the secluded retreat of the Gu family ancestor,"
Ju Yunhai spoke to Tian Lin and Fairy Mei:
"Moreover, if we just leave now, we will have wasted these few days. Even if we return to the sect, we would need to choose another task to complete.
And the tasks left for our academy this month are all leftovers chosen by others, none of which are easier to resolve."
Tian Lin nodded, agreeing with Ju Yunhai's perspective.
Fairy Mei was noncommittal; she was the strongest among them and acted decisively, unlike Sister Jia who hesitated.
