At a critical moment like this, Fourth Master Gray had slipped away. Had he gone to find more flesh from the Taisui corpse, or was he up to no good again?
Luo Bin truly could not stop worrying about Fourth Master Gray.
Drawing a deep breath, Luo Bin said, "Mr. Xu, have Second Madam Hu find Fourth Master Gray. We mustn't let him run wild."
"I won't interfere with your choice. You support me, and I support you just the same. I also know you'll at least see spirit-medium cultivation and Emergence from Darkness through."
"You were so decisive about expelling yourself from the sect because you were afraid their concerns would come true, weren't you? You were afraid you'd affect the Northern Branch Dry Dragon."
"Disappointment was one reason. Seeing things clearly was another. Looking out for the bigger picture was yet another-you just didn't want them to know that."
As Luo Bin spoke those last few sentences, his gaze was deep, with a trace of clear understanding.
Xu Lu fell silent. Only after a moment did he shake his head and say, "Guo Baichi might not see it as looking out for the bigger picture. He'd call it stubbornness. My Grand Master is dead. No one will accommodate me anymore. As long as the Ghost Granny Lineage refuses, it's impossible."
"I can accept that. I won't beg anyone for help, and I won't drag anyone else down."
Although that was how Xu Lu put it, Luo Bin knew that his deeper thoughts really did match what Luo Bin had said.
"Second Madam, go. Don't let Fourth Master do anything reckless."
Xu Lu changed the subject with that remark, then cautiously approached the bedroom door, the worry in his eyes undiminished.
