Years of friendship had given Yu Xiaosheng complete confidence in Li Chang'an.
Within the entire Myriad Formation Sect, few knew Li Chang'an better than he did.
"Even if he cannot rescue them, Daoist Li will still be able to retreat unscathed."
He smiled and set down the message Jade Slip.
However, another Nascent Soul elder beside him did not agree.
She said blandly, "Daoist Yu, I think you overestimate this Li Chang'an."
"Oh? What insight does Daoist Mei have?"
Yu Xiaosheng turned to look at her.
This woman was named Mei Mengxuan. She was Luo Yu's disciple and Yao Lanqin's senior sister.
She had once explored the Wugu tribe Ruins with Yao Lanqin and Ren Huan, and had met Li Chang'an there.
At the time, she had been at Mid-Nascent Soul. Now, she had advanced to the Late Nascent Soul Stage.
She said calmly, "According to news from Daoist Hong Lei, Li Chang'an went to rescue them not out of kindness. He was simply blinded by treasure and could not see the danger before him."
Yu Xiaosheng shook his head. "Daoist Li possesses astonishing fortune and considerable wealth. How could he be so easily blinded by treasure? Daoist Mei, do not deliberately disparage Daoist Li because of your own prejudice."
"Prejudice? Li Chang'an and I bear neither grudge nor grievance against each other. Why would I be prejudiced against him?"
Mei Mengxuan snorted, making it clear that she had no prejudice.
But Yu Xiaosheng knew very well.
Mei Mengxuan was deeply dissatisfied with the choice of Guardian of Immortal City.
She possessed Late Nascent Soul Stage cultivation and was Luo Yu's disciple. So long as Luo Yu gave the word, she could have been sent to guard an Immortal City.
Yet things had not gone as she wished.
