While Song Nianchu was in seclusion, the Shangguan Family was indeed discussing how to deal with her. Back in the Trial Grounds, they had intended to teach her a lesson, but the arrival of so many members of the Si Family to escort her had given the Shangguan Family a new perspective on her status.
The Si Family was a top-tier family. Even if they had suffered some losses recently due to trouble caused by the Lan Family, they were still more formidable than the Shangguan Family. Since the Si Family was now clearly shielding Song Nianchu, the Shangguan Family had to change their strategy. Given that Song Nianchu had performed so well in the Trial Grounds and was formidable against Evil Cultivators, they reasoned she should have no trouble with the invaders in the Dark Forest.
One month later, the moment Song Nianchu emerged from seclusion, she received an anxious message from Dantai Jiao. At the same time, an elder from the Headquarters Guild left a message for her to report to the council chamber. Dantai Jiao’s message was a warning: the Shangguan Family had set a trap for her, and she must not agree to anything.
