Tu Han nodded. "I'll give it a try."
Su Po smiled again. "If your master is unwilling to leave the mountains, then stay in Demon Ridge. Don't come back."
Tu Han froze, then hurriedly said, "If Shangqing Sect is in trouble, how can this disciple stand by and watch? Wouldn't that make me an ungrateful wretch?"

If Wei Duo had not been so difficult to persuade away, I would certainly have had him go to Demon Ridge with you to take refuge. Having him seek out Niu Youdao was merely the next best thing. Asking you to avoid this is not asking you to turn a blind eye. It is to preserve yourselves for a useful purpose. If Shangqing Sect truly reaches the point of being wiped out, find Wei Duo when the opportunity arises and work with him to rebuild Shangqing Sect. That is the greater righteousness!
