"Besides, are you a match for Xuanyuan Jade Butterfly?" Fan Zhuolang asked. "With her temperament, she could bring herself to strike even you."
Zuo Qiu Shu said nothing. She knew everything Fan Zhuolang said was right.
"If Senior Xuan Tu is still alive, he has spent nearly ten thousand years at Imperial Remnant Manor. He has probably grown accustomed to it over the years. Even if he is still being subjected to all kinds of torment, we can only endure it. We must not act rashly. Once the time is ripe, we can rescue him in one stroke. That is the best choice for both Senior Xuan Tu and us," Fan Zhuolang said.
"Then tell me, when would be the best opportunity?" Zuo Qiu Shu asked.
"Well..." For a moment, Fan Zhuolang did not know how to answer.
In his view, going to Imperial Remnant Manor to confront Xuanyuan Jade Butterfly now was the most unwise course.
Not only would they fail to rescue Senior Xuan Tu, they would also bring him greater suffering.
They were better off maintaining the status quo for now, sparing Senior Xuan Tu some trouble.
"Naturally, when Xuanyuan Jade Butterfly realizes that she cannot deal with that old ghost, the First Generation, alone," Huo Lian said. "Surely she won't just sit there by herself and wait to die? She will still need to join forces with everyone, won't she?"
"Exactly. Then we can make her release Senior Xuan Tu as a condition," Fan Zhuolang said.
Zuo Qiu Shu let out a long sigh and nodded. "All right. That is our only option. I hope Senior Xuan Tu is still alive. Otherwise, I will never forgive Xuanyuan Jade Butterfly in this lifetime, even if my big brother hurt her back then and owed her a debt."
