And thus ends the battle.
"Fellow daoist, you've misunderstood." One of the elders said earnestly: "When did we ever intend to make you our enemy? If we remember correctly, today is our first meeting, right?
We have our own goals, but absolutely no intention of being hostile or creating conflict with anyone.
However, many people covet our possessions.
Too many people want us dead.
Fellow daoist, you may have been used by someone.
We must ask ourselves, what have we done?"
Upon hearing this, Gu An looked at them and said, "Did I misunderstand you then?"
"It seems so." The elder sighed, "We are people of the Royal Family, and we came to investigate the Zhuanlun lineage. They plan to sacrifice everyone on the ship.
Perhaps you were used by them."
"I was used by them?" Gu An looked at them in disbelief, "You are people of the Royal Family?"
"Indeed, I am a Commander of the Imperial Palace Guard." The middle-aged man, lying in a pool of blood, spoke with difficulty.
