The former, especially, revealed a look of enormous relief.
Lin Xuan's thoughts coincided with hers. After learning that Lin Xuan's strength far exceeded her expectations, and that he could, with his power alone, defeat more than twenty existences of the same rank, she had already been pondering whether they should take the initiative and settle their grudges with the three sects.
Dragging this out would do Cloud Hidden Sect no good.
Since they held the upper hand, they should seize this fine opportunity and solve this problem for their sect once and for all.
What she had worried about was that Lin Xuan was a bitter cultivator who might not agree with her view. After all, this Junior Brother Lin of hers—when it came to strength, that went without saying, but on ordinary days he almost never concerned himself with sect affairs. On these views that concerned the sect's future, whether he could be of one mind with her was truly hard to say.
If he happened to hold the attitude that one less matter was better than one more, then she would have to waste a great deal more breath, and as to whether she could ultimately persuade Lin Xuan, she had no real confidence either.
Fortunately, all her worries were unnecessary. She had not expected that although Junior Brother Lin did not involve himself in sect affairs on the surface, his vision was actually so extraordinary. On some issues, he even considered things more comprehensively and farther ahead than she did. Amid her wild joy, how could she have any reason to disagree?
As for the Youth surnamed Long, although he did not consider as much as the two of them, after hearing their brief description, he also understood the thoughts and considerations behind what they were doing.
