At those words, Yan Huan's lovely eyes shifted slightly, and an enchanting smile touched her lips. She simply loved seeing that look of "I can't stand you, but there's nothing I can do about it" on other people's faces. How amusing.
Sensual pleasure was fleeting, romance was dull, and others' affections were fickle. Only watching other people's distress and struggles offered the finest enjoyment.
Yan Huan nodded in satisfaction and did not make things any harder for him. Grinning, she said, "Since Sect Master Lu has asked me, how could I refuse to answer?"
"Though Radiant Splendor Heaven's Qi Refiners seek a pure yang primordial spirit, untainted by outside interference, the Immortal Garden's emotional thoughts arise from the heart's own desires. They cannot be severed."
As she spoke, she turned to Chu Mo. "Rest assured, Sect Master. Those under my Immortal Garden lineage have already hollowed out the minds of certain reinforcements. By ferrying our hearts into theirs, we have made them our eyes and ears."
Chu Mo nodded slightly, quite pleased with Yan Huan's arrangements.
He had witnessed the Immortal Garden's methods before. In intelligence infiltration and control over people's hearts, they had no equal. Although the All Beings Aspect could accomplish the same thing, his main objective remained assimilating those innate dharma bodies to strengthen his own Dao.
"In that case, thank you for your efforts, Senior Sister Yan Huan."
Chu Mo smiled. He said little about the feud between Yan Huan and Heavenly Pivot.
Back when Heavenly Pivot had first ventured into the world, Yan Huan had taken advantage of his inexperience to assume multiple roles-his closest friend, his teacher, and even his sworn elder sister-before pulling off one spectacular swindle.
The fact that Heavenly Pivot could still sit here peacefully was already a considerable courtesy.
