Master Cao and the elder exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat awkward.
From their faces, it was clear that Master Cao and the elder were definitely hiding something from him.
Chu Yi quickly consoled the two elders, "Whatever it is, just tell me, and if it's a difficulty I can overcome, I will certainly do as you instruct."
The elder was the first to speak.
"If possible, we would like you to stay. Moreover, we do not wish for you, Chu Yi, to leave."
It was evident from his tone that the elder was feeling very conflicted; his mood must have been quite heavy, as his voice was significantly lower when he spoke.
"The reason."
Chu Yi said the two words succinctly.
The elder lowered his head in embarrassment, his gaze shifting to Dog Survivors.
The nimble Dog Survivors quickly found an excuse, "Oh my, I forgot I had promised to water the spiritual medicine with Er Dan. How could I forget that?"
With those words, Dog Survivors hurriedly ran off.
