"That's right!"
Shuimo was blunt. "You've never been one for obedience, and right now is when the Saint Monarch is at his most vulnerable. I couldn't trust you, so you were the only one I didn't tell."
Gu Xiangzhu sneered. "So, after all this, you all still think I'm inferior to him?"
"Please don't take offense, Saintess!"
A square-faced old man coughed lightly.
Gu Xiangzhu asked, "Guardian Qi, what are your thoughts?"
Guardian Qi sighed. "Saintess, you grew up by the old Sect Leader's side, so what you've learned is naturally our Holy Sect's orthodoxy. But we have followed this orthodox path for centuries without success. If you were to take charge, what kind of breakthrough could you achieve?
The Saint Monarch may be radical, but he is unquestionably the strongest our Holy Sect has produced in centuries.
If we don't take a more extreme path, I fear our Holy Sect may never fulfill its long-held ambition, not even in a thousand or ten thousand years.
