After returning, Lu Sangjiu took some time to carefully consider the various problems they were facing.
First, there was the matter of not being able to return to the Seven Emotions Sect.
The Seven Emotions Sect's ancestor had his physical body destroyed and was now residing within Ye Zhiyao. This fact alone made it impossible for them to convince the ancestor to believe them over her.
In fact, Lu Sangjiu suspected it wasn't that the ancestor truly believed Ye Zhiyao's words. 'It's more likely that Ye Zhiyao is simply more important to him, so whether we've been wrongfully accused or not doesn't really matter.'
Given this reality, their only options were to either surpass the ancestor in power and make him fear them, or to become so valuable to the sect that he could no longer oppress them.
But at present, neither of these possibilities seemed attainable, nor could they be forced.
