"Oh?"
Mu Ruyue raised an eyebrow. As a soul master, it was understandable her abilities were being coveted.
"Elder Wu Wen of the Martial Sect has taken a fancy to her strength and has gone to great lengths to ask her to join. She agreed, and before leaving, An Qian said that she must infiltrate the Martial Sect and then gain power within the Martial Sect for you."
"..."
Mu Ruyue touched her nose speechlessly, "I have no interest in the Martial Sect."
Shu Ning seemed to have anticipated her response, and smiled faintly, "I said that too, but An Qian said you are like a mentor and friend to her. If not for you, she wouldn't have decided to fight, so she plans to become your support and use the Martial Sect to shield you."
In truth, from the beginning, Mu Ruyue helped An Qian with a bit of a personal agenda.
As a rare soul master, An Qian's future is bound to be limitless. By then, if she becomes her ally, it will also allow her to gain a stronger foothold on East Island...
