"Fellow Daoist Shen, Daoist Changmei has explicitly stated that Chong Heihu is a member of the Chan Sect. Their objective in recruiting him is to neutralize Chong Houhu and thereby seize control of the entire Northern Territory of Yin-Shang. Wouldn't it be highly imprudent for our Four Seas Treasure Pavilion to intervene and rescue Chong Houhu at this juncture?"
Before Shen Gongbao could finish his response, he was interrupted by the anxious Ao Lan. She looked at him with visible trepidation and continued, "Although we have had business dealings with Chong Houhu in the past, it would be foolhardy to incur the wrath of the Sage Yuanshi over this."
Shen Gongbao smiled faintly. Instead of answering Ao Lan directly, he turned his gaze to Ao Bing and asked calmly, "Third Prince, do you intend to allow Daoist Changmei to return to the Chan Sect?"
