Except for Xiong Er, there were not many fools present. Once Jing Xiaosi spoke, almost everyone figured out the critical point.
Xiong Er became anxious and asked, "Why? You are under a spell and yet not dispelling it; aren't you afraid of losing your life?"
"Idiot, didn't you hear what the Junior Temple Master said? If the spell is broken, the caster will suffer a backlash, and they will know I have dispelled the spell. The journey back to the capital will assuredly be fraught with danger, and that would be a life-or-death situation," Jing Xiaosi glared at him and said, "If the spell is not broken, they will lower their guard. Once we safely return to the capital, we can break it then, which also avoids the possibility of being ambushed."
That is to say, lie low for now and safely return to the capital first.
When Xiong Er thought about it, it seemed to make sense.
