"Because..." Lv Qing said with a trace of annoyance, "Because your Three Corpses Spirit has escaped confinement and triggered an unprecedented Heavenly Tribulation in South River City. Knowing that I was powerless to change anything, I had no choice but to return."
"So that's the case." The Queen Mother of the West first nodded, then added, "But even if you had found the right place, you still would have been powerless to change anything. I sent you down the mountain precisely because I knew this."
"Sent me down the mountain..." Realizing something, Lv Qing asked, "Great Ancestor, did you know all along?"
The Queen Mother of the West smiled without answering.
At that moment, the Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens, who had been drinking cup after cup like an insatiable water buffalo, said with a grin, "You're a talented junior, no doubt, but you're not so important that I would break the rules for you."
Hearing this, Lv Qing felt a chill run down her spine.
