Wu Xing had no real affection for Ni Lanxin despite their several nights of pleasure, aware that she was fickle like water and that men like him were a dime a dozen in her life.
He knew that Ni Lanxin was the only successor of Lady Tianyao and the sworn daughter of Daoist Huang Zhong. Rumor had it that she had a dalliance with Daoist Huang Zhong, and having been carefully taught by both, her Mana was strong. Yet she was reportedly sealed and rendered as ordinary as a mortal, indicating she was not to be trifled with. So, Wu Xing chose not to act; instead, he left Little Chan in the cave, persuading and cajoling her to become his disciple.
Little Chan had been envious of the Immortal Law, and seeing the opportunity, she coyly agreed.
