Gong Yang Road was neither a Tian family in-law nor a born son of the household, but a guest scholar recruited by the Tian family, and highly trusted at that.

Upon hearing Tian Chang's question, he simply said, "One cannot discern anything from outside the formation; it must be experienced firsthand."
"In your view, is the risk high to enter the formation?"
Gong Yang Road replied, "The strength of these natural Arrays varies. But since they are formed naturally, they are not as unpredictable as man-made Formations. A Killing Array is a Killing Array, a labyrinth is a labyrinth. Since this Nine Spirals Quicksand is a labyrinth, at worst, we might just end up being unable to find a way out, trapped to death within it."
