The Great Shaman's fear and anxiety of death rapidly disappeared when Wei Zhong imprisoned him in a remote dungeon meant for erring Palace Attendants... If the Emperor of Zhou intended to kill him, why bother locking him up?
But the Great Shaman began to worry that Bai Qingyan wanted to enlist him for her own use. If he refused, would he be subject to harsh punishment? This worry persisted until Bai Qingyan came to the dungeon personally.
Two young eunuchs behind Wei Zhong placed a chair outside the cell, and after Wei Zhong wiped it clean with a cloth, he respectfully invited Bai Qingyan to sit.
Bai Qingyan sat down, elbow resting on the armrest, and smiled as she stared at the kowtowed Tianfeng Kingdom's Great Shaman. "I've heard that after you were brought in, you sat cross-legged here, not hurried or manic. Do you think... being locked here is Zhou trying to recruit you?"
