"Dad, can you keep your voice down? I'm talking with Mom."
Li Sui's question went unanswered. Li Huowang kept his head down, frantically flipping through something while muttering to himself, "The contents of this one... seem useless?"
Seeing Li Huowang ignore her, Li Sui decided not to press the matter. She turned to Bai Lingmiao and said, "Mom, I don't actually want you to be the Saintess of the White Lotus Sect. The higher you climb, the more dangerous it gets, and I'm worried about you."
"Dangerous? The Dharma Sect is gone, isn't it? What danger could there be? Or are you talking about..." Bai Lingmiao's gaze, fraught with worry, drifted toward the Imperial City.
"It's dangerous at the top, no matter which top we're talking about."
"Honestly, I don't want Gao Zhijian to be the Emperor, and I don't want Dad to be Heart Pan, because that's dangerous too. It's just that they don't have a choice. You do."
"I can find someone else to take your place."
