In the eyes of Shangguan Yang and Zhuo Qingcheng, Jiang Man was only at the Late Stage of Golden Core.
So pairing the weakest with the strongest was, in a way, a fitting match.
Zhuo Qingcheng was somewhat worried. Since Jiang Man had offended a Peak Master, she was not certain of Shangguan Yang's intentions.
But since Jiang Man had agreed, she wasn't in a position to object.
Besides, she also needed to maintain a certain distance from him.
If someone with ill intent were to see them together, it would cause immense trouble.
The Peak Master's influence was never direct. It stemmed more from how others calculated their loyalties.
They had to decide: was it safer to partner with someone who hadn't offended the Peak Master, or with someone who had?
To those people, the answer was obvious.
Even if the person who offended the Peak Master had a powerful background, would he turn around and help you?
Highly unlikely.
No one would gamble with their family's fate.
