Senior Sister Xi Lan's words plunged the Old Man into a difficult situation. Now, all he could feel was regret. He hadn't anticipated that the Phoenix's power would affect her mind, making her pride grow as she suddenly possessed such formidable strength. She may even become vain, yearning for a genius to be her man.
Seeing her master remain silent, Senior Sister Xi Lan continued, "Master, surely you know junior brother better than we do. Given his temperament, if he learns of this, it won't escalate into a big issue. It's just that this affection, from here on, might be severed."
"What junior brother might do at that time is beyond our prediction."
"I'm afraid he already knows. What do you think Crescent Moon Sage meant by his words earlier? Don't you understand?" the Old Man said with a shake of his head, full of helplessness and even his pupils filled with remorse. He turned to sit down in the Taishi Chair, picked up the teacup, and gulped down several mouthfuls of tea.
