"The Taoist Monarch saw right through all of our thoughts," said Wan Fayi, a glint of insight flashing in his eyes as if he had grasped the Taoist Monarch's intentions to some extent and had begun to speculate. "Perhaps allowing us to form groups was part of his calculations all along! After all, this trial for us candidates requires displaying our leadership abilities. How could one showcase the capacity to lead the Shenxiao Lineage if they are intent on fighting alone?"
Having spent no small amount of time with Pei Xuanjing, Wan Fayi knew that besides mentoring him in cultivation, the Taoist Monarch, though not proactive in teaching other matters, never deliberately excluded Wan Fayi from handling affairs that even the Sect Leader and others could not decide on. The Taoist Monarch even intentionally allowed Wan Fayi to observe and learn.
