Hey! Using me as a pawn again??
Xia Baishu shook his head, "Of course I'm not using you as a pawn. Fellow Daoist, you already have such skills, able to sit with us as equals. Naturally, I must explain the reasons to you, and offer benefits in exchange for your assistance."
Ji Qingyan nodded, "You are merely an opportunity in this matter. The one truly in the midst of tribulation is Wuyang. The key doesn't lie with you, but in seeing how he chooses. If he can pass through this deadly trial on his own, naturally everyone will be happy. But if he cannot, hehe."
Li Fan squinted his eyes, "What, lad really can't understand what all you seniors are talking about, but isn't Lord Wuyang supposed to be your junior brother and soon to be the head of Mount Song? Why can't you just talk directly and convince him?"
