The breeze blew across the pavilion while Sima Ye was glancing at Lin Xuan Qi, waiting for his answer.
Lin Xuan Qi wasn't sure if he should tell Sima Ye the truth.
He would tell Sima Long but wasn't so sure about Sima Ye, for now at least.
Even though Sima Ye had been on his side so far, it would have been on his side more for the sake of Sima Long than anything else.
He had to weigh his options carefully.
The fact that the Daoist Five-Element Cultivation Techniques allowed someone without any spirit root to cultivate would cause huge turmoil in the cultivation world.
Many sects would want to get hold of it for them to become more powerful than the others.
Lin Xuan Qi's life and those inside the mansion wouldn't be spared if they found out.
He would be able to hold them off within the compound of the mansion, but what about the others?
They couldn't be stuck hiding inside forever.
