Liu Xuan and the others needed help, and naturally, Gu An did not refuse.
The development of Liu Xuan and his group in the Merak Sacred Land was also tied to the Cyan Yuan Sect. As Lü Zhenghai had said, their relationship was like that of a root and its stem—they were interdependent and mutually reinforcing.

It was like investing in a promising project; one had to contribute a certain amount of capital and effort to get involved, and only then could one reap the rewards when the project took off.
Liu Xuan's group in the Merak Sacred Land was in this exact situation—they were an extremely high-quality project, and the Cyan Yuan Sect needed to invest some of its human resources.
