"Shangguan Yunyue, that woman, is truly too malicious!" Dugu Jingtian cursed, "To actually demand a sliver of our souls! She wants to use this to control us, it's utterly despicable!"
Ximen Lie nodded, "Indeed, quite despicable! But also very clever!"
"Clever?" Dugu Jingtian was taken aback, "You say she's clever?"
"Is she not?" Ximen Lie said, "She doesn't trust our guarantees, nor our oaths. In the end, she sets conditions for us to give up a sliver of our souls. If we do as she says... then she's completely safe. With our souls in her hands, we dare not harm her. Not only will we not dare to harm her, but we'll have to protect her as much as possible. Such a clever tactic."
"Immortal, what should we do?" Dugu Jingtian sought Ximen Lie's advice.
"I don't know," Ximen Lie shook his head, "My mind's in turmoil right now, I don't know what to do at this moment."
