Ghost did not answer, merely looking at Hu Liena.
Bibi Dong truly doted on Hu Liena, raising her entirely as if she were her own daughter.
Hu Liena was naturally grateful for her teacher's nurturing. Was it time to make a choice?
"I... I don't know. But Luo Chuan doesn't bear any hatred toward Spirit Hall. Shrek doesn't hold any grudge against Spirit Hall either. We can completely maintain a good relationship with Shrek. We don't necessarily have to subdue Shrek or force them into opposition." Hu Liena tried to explain. She truly did not want to see Spirit Hall and Luo Chuan become enemies.
"For Spirit Hall, such a prodigy must naturally be kept firmly under our control," Ghost said. Hu Liena fell silent.
After spending two months together, she knew Luo Chuan's temperament well. He was easygoing yet stubborn, and he would not submit to Spirit Hall.
Seeing the changes in Hu Liena's expression, Ghost smiled wickedly. "It seems you've really fallen deeply for that kid. That's a good thing."
"A good thing?" Hu Liena smiled bitterly, the letter clutched in her hand feeling unbearably heavy.
"Yes, Nana. Perhaps you don't know why I didn't step forward to recruit Luo Chuan when you first met him." Ghost spoke, and Hu Liena's eyes brightened slightly. She had wondered about that back then too. Ghost Elder had been lurking nearby, so why had he not recruited such an outstanding genius?
"Behind Luo Chuan stands a Limit Douluo. Back then, that Limit Douluo had noticed me. So I didn't dare make a move. If I did, and it led to a misunderstanding, I wouldn't even have had the chance to fight back." Ghost still felt lingering fear. He never wanted to experience the feeling of being watched by a Limit Douluo
