"What was his purpose?"
Bai Zihan asked.
To him, it didn't matter whether Elder Shuhai was at the Immortal Realm or higher—the Bai Clan, too, had many such people.
Though from what the Second Prince said, it seemed that Elder Shuhai had likely already fled.
The prince shook his head.
"I don't know. He never spoke of it directly. But… he helped me, so it was probably for the Throne of the Falling Star Empire."
With how his Master was helping him unconditionally, he knew very well that he was being used.
However, rather than dying having achieved nothing, he was almost happy to be used. At the very least, he was still of some use.
Bai Zihan listened and tried to figure it out.
He didn't think that Elder Shuhai and the organization behind him truly wanted the Falling Star Empire—unless there was something here, or perhaps their target wasn't the Empire at all.
The prince looked up at him again. The fear was gone from his eyes, replaced by a strange calm acceptance.
