Guan Tong never expected Baqizi to just hand him the fragment.
Their brief conversation, however, had already revealed her to be a complete nihilist. It wasn't surprising that someone like that would do such a thing.
For a nihilist, even suddenly committing suicide the next moment would be nothing out of the ordinary. What Guan Tong found stranger was that the officials of Sakura Prayer Country had somehow failed to see this and continued to train her.
But that had nothing to do with Guan Tong. After getting the fragment, he decided to postpone his retaliation. It wasn't that Baqizi's actions had made him change his mind; it was just that after learning the contents of Fragment 5, his own thoughts were in disarray and needed sorting out.
He used Body Shifting to return to Mingdao Mountain, where he usually stayed, and summoned his shelter to enter it.
He retracted his Shadow, and without the five senses it synchronized with him, his vision immediately went pitch black.
