Gu Xiangzhu's expression was cold and mocking. "You're willing to dangle something as important as the Celestial Demon Seal just to stall me? Do you really think I'd fall for it?"
"No, no, no!"
Shuimo smiled and shook her head. "This isn't a question of falling for a trick. It's a question of whether you're willing to gamble. The Celestial Demon Seal is monumentally important. Of course I don't want to hand it over to you. Taking it out was, indeed, a way to stall for time.
But it's true that you're stronger than I am, so you do have a real chance of snatching it from me.
This might be your only chance. It all comes down to whether you're willing to seize it."
Gu Xiangzhu's expression darkened.

For so many years.
