He paused, his gaze fixed on Ge Wu, and continued, "Besides, those two are already champing at the bit for the 'Advancement Ceremony.' If they find out what you're doing now, do you really think they'll pass up the opportunity once you've completely severed ties with the Female Master? If you don't want to end up all alone, you need to calm down."
He urged in a low voice, his tone growing more earnest.
"Listen to me, the Female Master has really changed. She's not as heartless and cold as she used to be. Will you give her another chance? Maybe she genuinely wants to change this time?"
"Changed for the better?"
Ge Wu scoffed, his laughter filled with derision.
"Hah. For all we know, this is just her latest trick. She's deliberately faking remorse to make us lower our guard, while who knows what kind of vicious scheme she's plotting behind our backs!"
As he spoke, his tone grew more agitated and he clenched his fists.
