Ning Zhuo remained non-committal, momentarily lost in thought.
"What Silk Lady said is most likely true. I have the means to perform Soul Searching, which I can easily verify on her."
"Right now, she is like fish on the chopping block, and I am the butcher; there is no need for her to deceive me here. It would be pointless!"
"It doesn't matter that she doesn't know Ban Ji's upcoming moves."
"Firstly, I can send others to closely monitor Ban Ji and gather intelligence. Secondly, I can scour the entire Myriad Images Sect for all Xingyun Trials related to mechanical techniques, as any could be Ban Ji's target."
Ban Ji secretly plotted against Ning Zhuo, but Ning Zhuo was not one to sit and endure, immediately considering a counterattack.
"Doesn't Confucianism also emphasize that it is impolite not to reciprocate?"
"On the surface, the matter with Ban Ji seems troublesome, but it's actually an opportunity."
