Steward Qian saw their shocked expressions, which quickly morphed into a savage sneer. "The Celestial Extreme Mansion is finished," he said with a cold laugh. "It has no resources, no status. If I stayed there, when would I ever break through to the Spirit Pill Stage? I don't want to stay in that hellhole any longer. I'd rather make my way with Bi! In these waters, not even the likes of the Cyan Profound Mansion dare to trespass. It's safer than anywhere else!"
