"We'll stay here."
Zhao Gongming gazed at the Ruined Temple at the end of the Stone Steps, his voice steady, without the slightest hesitation.
"The place even the Sages of the Three Realms dare not lightly peer into is right here."
Bixiao stopped short.
Qiongxiao also looked toward the temple, her brows drawing tighter and tighter.
Broken walls, missing tiles, a strand of spider silk hanging from the lintel.
Incense offerings were sparse.
The Offering Table was mottled.
However they looked at it, it resembled a little mountain god's temple that mortals had forgotten for years.
Bixiao held her tongue again and again, but finally lowered her voice. "Brother, your wounds haven't healed. Don't let that old scoundrel Randeng disturb your Dao heart."
Zhao Gongming glanced at her, yet did not grow angry.
He merely said softly, "Once you see clearly, you'll understand why I brought you here."
Bixiao parted her lips.
She wanted to say more, but Yunxiao raised a hand to stop her.
Yunxiao had remained silent ever since arriving.
She had not looked at the Ruined Temple's crumbling walls, nor paid any attention to the moss outside its entrance.
Her gaze rested on a grain of incense ash that had rolled into a crack between the Stone Steps.
The grain of incense ash stirred gently.
A thread of karma emerged with it.
