Back then, Qing State was still suffering from a severe drought. Leaving the Cyan Yuan Sect would have meant an incredibly difficult life, one most would likely not survive.
The situation for these Servant Disciples taken by Lü Zhenghai was similar to Yang Chan's back in the day.
Unless one of them stumbled upon some heaven-defying opportunity, their futures were easy to predict—they had virtually no potential for growth.
Even so, the fact that Lü Zhenghai and his group took these people was thought-provoking.
Yang Chan refused to believe Lü Zhenghai's group was acting out of pure benevolence. They had to have some other purpose.
Yang Chan had his suspicions about the situation but couldn't confirm them. He decided he could ask Gu An about it later.
"In total, more people left this time than were taken away by Sect Leader Liu."
"I heard Sect Leader Gu has already arranged for the Elders to recruit Servant Disciples in massive numbers—twice as many as before."
