"Then how will you deal with Wen Zhaozhen next?" Gu Chengfei asked.
"Do you think I would tell you what I'm thinking?"
"You think I can't guess? You certainly won't fall out with Wen Zhaozhen," Gu Chengfei said. "You can't afford to lose an expert like him."
Xuan Yuanjun said nothing.
"There is no one we cannot afford to lose," Ji Xuanying said coldly. "Anyone who wants to die in the end is welcome to stand against us. So anyone with any sense should know which side to take. Unfortunately, some people no longer have that chance."
Gu Chengfei's expression shifted. She was clearly referring to him.
Gu Chengfei snorted inwardly.
His situation was bound to be grim from here on. Even if Longevity Daoist did not come after him upon emerging, he would probably still be unable to escape death if Longevity Daoist's plan succeeded.
A man like that would certainly never spare him after his betrayal.
At this point, Gu Chengfei instead found himself hoping Xuan Yuanjun and the others would succeed.
Only by killing Longevity Daoist could the threat to his future be resolved.
"What are you thinking?" Ji Shidao asked, staring at Gu Chengfei.
"Nothing. I think I've already said everything I should," Gu Chengfei said.
"That's all?" Ji Shidao said coldly. "Are you making fools of us?"
"You already know everything else I know." Gu Chengfei shook his head. "To be honest, the secrets I know are limited."
"There's no need to make things difficult for him," Xuan Yuanjun said. "The matter of the essence blood counts as a major secret. After all, we knew nothing about it. Now we understand Longevity Daoist's heaven-shaking plan better. We absolutely cannot let him succeed."
Ji Shidao nodded. This was no longer merely for himself or his mother.
