"..." Wang Mu.
These Cultivators, do they even understand when they perform divination? To foresee the future and peer into Tianji, aren't they afraid of invoking Heaven's Punishment?
"I have waited a long time. When you appeared, my young friend, I knew that an esteemed guest had arrived," the Master said with a slight smile, looking at Wang Mu.
"Please speak," Wang Mu said slowly after a moment of silence.
"Very well, then I shall not be indirect," the Master said. "You just arrived and must have seen that scene. You probably don't know much about the current situation or history of Li State, let alone the reasons behind it all."
Wang Mu nodded. He indeed did not quite understand.
The Master clasped his hands behind his back and gazed skyward, his voice deepening slightly.
"My Tianlu Temple is situated on the Desert Sea Plain. For hundreds of years in Li State, it has remained neutral, not participating in any of the dynastic conflicts. Do you know the reason for this?"
