Had they not leveraged the Four Elders to express their willingness to risk it all, they truly weren't confident they could rein in Gu Xiangzhu's wild nature.
Fortunately.
Judging by Gu Xiangzhu's silence, it seemed they had succeeded in reining her in.
Gu Xiangzhu: "..."
Truth be told, Shuimo's words had struck a nerve.
The possibility that her only two mainstays had converged into one truly put her in an incredibly passive position.

Zhao Ci's perilous situation was indeed not something she could resolve on her own.
As for the danger of being framed by Zhao Huan, she could handle it, though it would mean a complete falling-out. It wasn't an entirely unsolvable problem.
But the ensuing estate feud...
In four months at most, once these people all broke through to the Physical Body Realm.
Zhao Ci would face immense pressure.
And in that feud, she wouldn't even be able to interfere.
She felt frustrated.
