Or perhaps, it would be inaccurate to say he was thrust into the limelight; his role was simply to act as a smokescreen, to befuddle the world.
After all, Che Shidao's cultivation had already reached the level of an Earth Immortal, and he, too, was not suited to public exposure, which would make it easy for others to see through him.
And this avatar, in recent years, had established the persona of an ascetic cultivator.
Spending his days in deep cultivation within the Dragon Palace, he might not emerge even once in a decade.
Lu Yuan pushed this person forward also to use this point to push back against the outside world's infiltration into Taiping Dao.
After all,
Compared to a School Leader who could frequently visit and had a wide network of friends,
An ascetic cultivator who rarely met others and had an aloof personality was obviously not so approachable.
Facing such a person, would you dare to bother them with a visit unless it was a matter of great importance?
