"So... they reached out to Lin Xi and the Kou family, seeking to cooperate in expelling the Third Sanctuary!"
Qiu Tu nodded slightly and then added, "If I'm not mistaken, the Kou family and Lin Xi had already begun to suspect the merger of the two major regions due to some of my actions."
"As a result, the Second Sanctuary presented themselves, allowing them to gain the last piece of the information puzzle. They thoroughly acquired this crucial intel."
Guan Xiao's eyes seemed a little lost, then she reasoned, analyzing,
"And because the 'core area' and 'edge region' are about to merge, the true era of great conflict is about to arrive."
"They can't keep to themselves as before, much less sit on the fence; they must choose a faction to join."
"After careful study and even discussion, they decided that neither the Second sanctuary nor the Third Sanctuary was a good option for allegiance."
"So...."
Saying this, Guan Xiao looked at Qiu Tu in shock.
