If Zhao Qian's guess was correct and the enemy had stolen the innate Heavenly Dao, they would very likely try to steal the other innate Awakened ones as well. That meant Zhao Qian was not the only one in danger—my wife-sister was in danger too, along with innate Awakened ones such as Li Poxiao and Longqi You. I needed to notify them as soon as possible and warn them not to fall into the trap.
