You guys got one thing wrong

"You are a bait."

This one sentence was enough to make Mia freeze. 

She couldn't care less about being in danger herself. If she was a coward like this, she would never bother to challenge the system that governed the sect. 

But being a bait, who would pull Arthur into trouble?

Mia tightened her hands. 

"Excuse me?" Mia finally uttered through her tightened lips. 

'I can't do shit about it now,' she thought, suddenly realizing just how naive her earlier thinking was. 'Why did I stop cultivating? Who cares what the sect will think? Because I stalled my own growth, now I'm as powerless to do anything as I always was!' she thought, heavily blaming herself for her earlier, cautious decision.
