"You should know the Lu Family's background—one has a grudge with Zhu Qing, the other with Fuyun Mountain. Why bother getting involved with troublemakers like them?"
Gu Long's brow furrowed, clear disappointment in his gaze toward Gu Shuang.
The Gu Family might look powerful, but in truth, ever since they took charge of Platinum Immortal City, their position within the Immortal Sect has been precarious.
How great are the benefits of controlling an Immortal City?
Even Foundation Establishment cultivators would be green with envy. And right now, it's in their hands. Though most of the profit must be handed over to the sect every year, what's left is more than enough for them to gorge themselves.
No hand that's seized the meat stays clean.
Thus, in recent years, the Gu Family kept an extremely low profile, terrified of giving anyone within the sect a handle to use against them.
Today's Gu Family isn't nearly as dominant as it was decades ago.
