"Just then at the shrine, Yan Qing had drawn her sword but decided against launching an attack. Instead, she intended to retreat, most likely understanding that she was no match for me. She wanted to travel to Verdant Bamboo Lake to ask for reinforcements. So, Du Yu, tell me what were the true intentions in the depths of her heart? Was she more focused on fleeing to save herself, or was she more focused on trying to save He Lu?" Chen Ping'an asked in a casual voice.

However, the canal master still felt a slight sense of apprehension. What if, on the off chance, this were actually true?
After all, she had indeed been as weak as a little child in front of this vagrant cultivator just then. This was the undeniable truth.
In any case, these matters...
