That junior brother had grown increasingly gloomy. After all he had been through, and after having his eyes taken from him, he had even triggered a war between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Dou Ling Empire. Countless people had died, directly or indirectly. That was bound to put immense psychological pressure on him.
He was worried that the junior brother might break down because of it, or become extreme.

Going there again would inevitably stir Yuhao's emotions. He was worried that the boy might do something extreme.

If they wanted to assassinate the Sun Moon Emperor, Xu Tianran, they would have to overcome both of those obstacles.
Both were, at their core, Soul Tools. Only a Soul Engineer could understand their inner workings and devise the best way to deal with them.
