Chapter 440: Each Harboring Their Own Schemes

Zixu warily looked at Jia Xu, feeling a great sense of danger from him ever since their first encounter.

"It's not that I don't know; I just don't dare," Zixu sighed and sat down, saying helplessly, "As you said, I am indeed a Taoist priest and I do indeed know, though I'm not sure where I slipped up. But seeing the conviction in your eyes, I know you're fully confident."

"Don't dare?" Jia Xu glanced at Zixu, "In choosing the lesser of two evils, I wonder which one should be chosen?"

"Must I say it?" Zixu asked with a darkened face.

"Indeed!" Jia Wenhe watched Zixu closely, on guard against any sudden outbursts.

"Compared to the weighty schemes of the Cao Clan, the Yuan Clan's, alas, can't I remain silent?" Zixu said with a wry smile. Even if the Yuan Clan's karma was less severe, it was not something he could bear; speaking of it might turn him to ash from the entanglements of fate.
