"Father, should I depart secretly next?"
Daoist Luya sighed:
"My concern is that if the esteemed Calamity is angered, he may cut off our incense offerings and merits."
"What use is the internal Heavenly Dao then?"
Li Ping'an glanced at him briefly:
"Indecision leads to disaster. Why have you become so indecisive now?"
"Yes," Daoist Luya nodded quickly, "Your son will follow your every command, Father."
"No need for that," Li Ping'an said, "You must have your own opinions, something I've been teaching you since you were young."
"Then, Father, should I take those old Officials of yours with me?"
"What old Officials do I have?" Li Ping'an squinted his eyes slightly, "Those are merely remnants of the Ancient Heavenly Court. You decide on this matter. Whether it's using them to deplete the strength of the Human Emperor or keeping them as future bargaining chips, both outcomes are advantageous to me."
