Chapter 1661 - 1662: Undercurrents
The Luo Clan Great Elder stepped out of Zixuan Pavilion, showing no hint of surprise regarding the final outcome.
Xu Nanzhi’s memories being restored was entirely within his expectations, and her eventual choice to compromise was even more anticipated.
He knew well that this woman’s reason for living was not revenge against the Luo Clan, but her inability to let go of the man who had come to this place for her sake.
Once he understood that Su Chengyu was the very root of Xu Nanzhi’s desires, he had firmly taken control of her fate.
As he had stated, Xu Nanzhi had no right to refuse.
A person willing to disregard their own life would never forego any opportunity to achieve their inner goal. Xu Nanzhi’s current goal was solely for Su Chengyu to survive.
Even though she knew from his lips that Su Chengyu’s fate was uncertain.
"Great Elder, that Su Chengyu—is he truly dead in Qingqiu Mausoleum?"
"Who knows? If he’s dead, that’s best. If he’s alive, it might not be a bad thing either. After all, this is our only means to control Lady Saintess at present."
The elder following behind pondered for a moment before speaking, "And what about the Second Elder..."
"No need to rush. Destroying the entire Qingqiu Mausoleum might not have been his deliberate intention. The Demonic Path forces are overwhelming; even if this unexpected individual hadn’t meddled, the items within Qingqiu Mausoleum were destined never to fall into our Luo Clan’s hands. It’s irrelevant. However, the methods of the Second Elder are indeed too radical, striking directly at the foundations," he replied.
