Liu Huai'en was struck speechless by the question. After a moment of silence, he said, "You're a bold one, aren't you? Using yourself as bait to enter the fray, just so your northern branch can smoothly interfere in the south. Aren't you afraid of getting yourself killed?"
Li Miaolin just chuckled, not answering the question directly. Instead, he glanced at the Qi Cultivator who had been guiding them. The man was quick on the uptake and immediately stepped aside.
Liu Huai'en frowned slightly as he watched the Qi Cultivator leave. 'Should I get rid of him?' he wondered. Just then, he heard Li Miaolin say, "I secretly refined them into puppets long ago. And don't even think about using my own plan against me, Fellow Daoist. Changqing Zhenren would never trust me."
