On his way back, Mo Hua silently summarized the gains and losses of his journey in his heart.
Overall, infiltrating the Black Mountain Stronghold had been eventful but without peril; however, upon careful reflection, he realized that many situations he faced were quite dangerous.
Particularly when eavesdropping on the Foundation Establishment Evil Cultivators' conversations, spying under their very noses, and eventually even stealing the third Householder's Contemplation Map—getting caught by the third Householder himself...
These actions were akin to pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth or retrieving chestnuts from a fire.
Although, in the end, Mo Hua managed to bluff his way through, converting danger into safety.
Nevertheless, one should seek benefits and avoid harm; it would be better to refrain from such dangerous activities in the future as much as possible. And if there were no choice but to undertake them, he'd need to plan even more thoroughly.
Mo Hua sighed softly.
