Davis appeared solemn.
"Do you still understand what kind of risk associating with my title carries? Such a thing-"

Ancestor Cornelia narrowed her eyes while also adopting a solemn expression on her face, "I most likely wouldn't be able to make the Burning Phoenix Ridge avoid scrutiny, but once they know Little Lea's prowess that has far surpassed mine, they would have no choice but to keep quiet as they did it for you, staying wary of your deadly wolf. Moreover, you are there to protect the sect. Therefore, as long as your growth is secured, I can make use of my waning lifespan to the fullest."
Davis's expression remained the same.
"You would go that far for me when there's a chance that I might betray?"
"In that case, I can only have myself to blame. After all, I remember telling you that this is my gamble."
