“So… you ‘surrendered’?” Yun Che asked with a look of curiosity.
"Hmph, a gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. How could I surrender so easily! At that time, I rejected their unreasonable demands without hesitation. But they were too powerful. Even though we had Mo Su, Pan Xiaodie and two supreme magic weapons, we were still no match for them. So in the end..." The priest Wan Dao sighed heavily, his tone full of melancholy.
"In the end, Xiao Huang sacrificed himself for us and was forcibly captured and tortured by them. And we gained our freedom because of this. At least until now, we have been living in peace and there have been no fierce conflicts." The priest Wan Dao said, with an elusive light flashing in his eyes.

"Ahem, we're here. Mu Su and the others are inside. Let's go in." Priest Wan Dao looked at the house in front of him and quickly changed the subject as if he had found a life-saving straw.
Yun Che looked at the unremarkable house and nodded, no longer dwelling on the words of the Priest Wan Dao, and followed him inside.
