Jiang Yuechu stopped in her tracks and glanced sideways.
"I wonder what else the fairy wishes to discuss?"
Seeing the young woman look over, Fairy Jadeface spoke softly. "Fellow Daoist, you acted righteously on behalf of our Eight Hundred Miles of Linked Clouds today and slew the demonic fiends of the Buddhist Sect. I will remember such kindness deeply."
"It is only that... the Buddhist Sect is a great power. With the White Ape dead here, their Buddhist son will certainly not let this rest."
"Though Fellow Daoist is one favored by heaven, traveling alone leaves one vulnerable; two fists can hardly fend off four hands."
Fairy Jadeface paused, then continued earnestly, "If Fellow Daoist does not mind, why not remain at Jade Luan Manor for the time being? Though Jade Luan Manor cannot be called a Grotto-Heaven blessed land, we possess some foundations nonetheless. Should the Buddhist Sect truly come looking for trouble, we may watch over one another and stand together against powerful foes."
Though her words were tactful, everyone present understood their deeper meaning.

Once the Buddhist Sect learned of today's events, they would send far more than one or two Wandering Void Sea cultivators.
Not to mention that she had personally killed the White Ape.
Rather than hear news someday that this young woman who had acted righteously had fallen, it was better to keep her at Jade Luan Manor.
Jade Luan Manor did not dare claim it could contend against the entire Buddhist Sect, but with Fairy Jadeface, a Wandering Void Sea Perfection expert, holding the fort, it could at least offer some protection.
They could consider it repayment for her stepping forward
