San Niang felt a tinge of sourness inside.
From Zhao Changhe's attitude, it was clear that he might be interested in forging the Night Emperor's Sword itself, showing the enthusiasm of a Martial Artist for how to create a Divine Sword. However, he showed no interest in inheriting the causality of becoming the Night Emperor or gaining the devotion of the Four Symbols Sect; in fact, he seemed hesitant and cautious about it.
San Niang understood Zhao Changhe's reservations. By taking on causality, he would owe a debt in the future, a burden heavier than that of the Sword Emperor beneath the Tang family.
The idea of not being the Night Emperor but going further than him was just arrogant bluster. If you're so wary, the normal choice would be not to touch it at all... If you like swords, just forge one for your use, as it's merely an item, carrying far less causality.
