"We should leave now," said Li Zhi.
"No, let's stay a bit longer."
Li Zhi found it quite odd. They've seen what they needed to see, persuaded Wei Yuan, and even set a tone for future cooperation. All the necessary tasks have been completed, so why remain here?
"We should be heading back," Li Zhi repeated.
"You seem eager to return?" Wei Yuan countered.
Li Zhi replied, "You don't have much human luck on you right now, and you're no longer in Qingming, leaving you unprotected. Considering those immortals that visited previously saw you leave Qingming, do you think they'll just sit idle? So, heading back earlier benefits both you and me."
"How does that benefit you?"
Li Zhi sighed and said, "I know a bit about how those two Immortal Masters from the Academy treated you in the past. If they act again, I'll be in a difficult position too. What's more, without your presence, I wouldn't necessarily be able to conquer Ji Country."
