Lu Sangjiu had been worried that Ye Zhiyao would suddenly appear and introduce some new complication.
That's why she had worked with Xie Ningyuan to provoke the Sword Immortal, drain his power, and take the storage ring.
Now, it seemed that decision had been the right one. All that was left was to protect Shen Yuzhao and try to secure the swordsmanship inheritance for him.
As for whether the Sword Immortal would be biased against Shen Yuzhao because she and Xie Ningyuan had stolen his things, Lu Sangjiu wasn't worried.
This senior had been waiting a thousand years for a suitable successor.
If Shen Yuzhao was truly suitable, the Sword Immortal wouldn't give up on him over such a trivial matter.
Her only fear was that the female lead's appearance would change the outcome of the inheritance.
So, of course, she had to pull in Xie Ningyuan, her powerful ally, to act as Shen Yuzhao's guardian.
