"Do you think he can succeed?"
Above the rolling Magma Marsh, the Cloud Touching Cave Master asked in a low voice.
Taisui flew on, gazing at the fiery clouds stretching a thousand li. His expression was complicated.
Instead of answering the Cloud Touching Cave Master's question, he asked one of his own.
"Do you want him to succeed?"
"I..." The Cloud Touching Cave Master's lips twitched. Ever since entering the Fallen Devil Land, he had lost much of his former composure. Now, he seemed utterly at a loss.

Then their group would have greater protection for the rest of the journey.
Taisui gave a cold laugh but offered no comment.
The Cloud Touching Cave Master grew curious. "What about you?"
"Whether he succeeds or fails has nothing to do with me. On the whole, though, I hope he fails to subdue the Sky Burning Fire," Taisui said casually.
The Cloud Touching Cave Master frowned. "Why? Are you afraid he'll threaten your true body?"
"How could a mere Golden Core Cultivator threaten my true body, however powerful he becomes?" Taisui glanced at the Cloud Touching Cave Master as though hinting at something, then changed tack. "I'm only afraid he won't know when to stop and will affect your work breaking the restrictions for me later."
So that was it.
The Cloud Touching Cave Master understood.
Taisui had chosen him
