Shi Chun blinked and suddenly sighed, "Since you know 'an innocent man carrying a jade is guilt-prone,' you should understand that I just want to protect myself right now. Can your Shudao Mountain guarantee my safety?"
Gu Lianni thought about it for a moment and replied, "Did you know Stargazing Pavilion is looking for you?"
Shi Chun: "I know."
Gu Lianni: "Good, as long as you steer clear of the Demon Path and can pass Stargazing Pavilion's test, Shudao Mountain can protect you without issue."
Shi Chun: "How will you protect me?"
Gu Lianni spoke solemnly, "You can join my Shudao Mountain. As long as you become a disciple here and hide within Shudao Mountain, the other Artifact Refining sects won't be able to harm you."
As she said this, there was a faint yearning in her eyes. Having witnessed Shi Chun's abilities, she had long wished he were a disciple of Shudao Mountain. Her father was the Sect Leader, and having Shi Chun join would only strengthen their family's standing.
