After seeing Medea and her group off, Gu Ding returned to the main hall and looked at Soya, whom Medea and the others had left behind.
Leaving Soya behind was also the first thing Medea had proposed.
According to her, Soya had previously been imprisoned by Granny Wen Sha. If they took Soya back, there was no telling how long she would remain locked up. Moreover, no one knew what the new Inspector would be like. It was entirely possible that Soya might even be sentenced to death.
Thus, Medea's plan was to have Gu Ding keep Soya at the War King Palace. When her group returned to report, they would say that Gu Ding had forcibly kept Soya behind. Given the role Gu Ding and his crew had played in exposing the Monarch Hall and Koude Bulade, Granny Wen Sha could hardly blame them and could only let the matter go.
After having Afang Sas remove the several minor restrictions still lingering within Soya's body, Gu Ding finally spoke.
"You can't leave the War King Palace anytime soon. Otherwise, the Monarch Hall will definitely hunt you down. Why not join our Gu Ding Pirate Crew?"
"Aren't you afraid I'll hold you back? I've been confined by the Monarch Hall all this time, and my cultivation hasn't advanced at all. I'm still at the True God Realm. Yet you already have Main God Perfection combat strength, and the others in your Pirate Crew are only slightly weaker than you." Soya could sense Gu Ding's sincerity. In fact, this was not the first time he had invited her.
"Cultivation can catch up soon enough. There aren't many girls in our Pirate Crew. If you join us, Lily and Elsa will definitely be happy." Gu Ding shook his head with a smile.
