Qin Shuang listened, only half-understanding, a look of confusion on her face.
Shen Bai said slowly, "The Observatory is already aware that the Deceitful Object is missing. They also know exactly what it does."
"Under these circumstances, what benefit do you think he could possibly gain?"
Qin Shuang thought for a moment. "None. The Observatory isn't to be trifled with."
Shen Bai smiled. "If that's the case, then his goal is to muddy the waters. The more people who get involved, the more the Observatory's attention will be obstructed. The murkier the water, the more divided their focus becomes, and the better his chances of finding something valuable in the great tomb."
"I have to say, this traitor from your Thief Sect has some brains."
Qin Shuang nodded. "This just makes things more and more complicated."
"A person's energy is finite."
