Han Yu thought about it all.
A place like this Spatial Realm was not impossible for someone with the status of a former Patriarch to create or acquire. If it had been passed down rather than absorbed into the sect, it explained why it remained hidden.
A personal domain.
A private realm.
A sanctuary outside the reach of ordinary power structures.
Han Yu slowly exhaled.
For what she had revealed… was far greater than the secret she had uncovered from him.
And that made it dangerous.
He understood immediately.
This was not an equal exchange.
This was leverage.
By revealing something so significant, she had placed him in a position where he could not simply walk away unaffected. Knowledge like this carried weight. It tied him to her, whether he wished it or not.
He had been given something that could not be easily ignored.
And that meant he was now part of whatever game she was playing.
Han Yu lowered his gaze slightly in acknowledgment.
