The last time he returned from Folding Mountain Island to the Sect by Flying Boat, Song Knife hadn't sought him out.
But this time, after his spot for the Hangu Mountain Secret Realm was confirmed, Song Knife specifically sent Yu Xue to find him…
Xu Xing did not know if Song Knife was part of the traitorous organization.
If he is, is this move a test, or merely a superfluous gesture? I'm not sure. However, if it is a test, refusing would be the most appropriate response. That way, I won't expose the fact that I already know someone is plotting to assassinate me.
If he isn't involved, then the offer to have me avoid him for fifty years…
The conditions Song Knife offered were certainly tempting. Whether it was the Shell Field or the Spirit Plant Garden, their value was at least several million Spirit Shells.
Yet, if he were to retreat now, he would lose all agency in his future affairs.
