Facing Ning Sujin's eager expression, Li Ji'an laughed freely, then slowly shook his head.
"Wife, you're overestimating your husband. The three Ascendants outside the array are not comparable to something like Pure Essence. Unless I expose all my trump cards, I can't constrain them.
Revealing all your cards in public is akin to suicide for both of us!
If it's only about ensuring Xiaojiu's Core Formation goes unhindered, it's enough to protect the Core Formation Dao Field."
Ning Sujin calmed down upon hearing this. She wasn't really trying to get Li Ji'an to save Funiu Mountain; she just wanted her man to trample on those Funiu Mountain elders' pride.
Now that she thought about it, she realized she cared too much about Li Ji'an's reputation.
Indeed, someone pursuing eternal immortality wouldn't care about worldly fame.
Before long, True Man Fengyin visited.
Li Ji'an did not refuse to see him, but despite his earnest pleading, Li Ji'an still directly refused.
