Watching Pan Dehai, Gao Shuxia, and Hundred-Eyes Fish all chasing after Bei Wushuang, Li Banfeng felt very conflicted.
Is the Contract Book in Bei Wushuang's hands, or still at his home? he wondered. Is it possible he dug out his own Contract Book? It's certainly possible. Although doing so would lower his cultivation level, staying home to defend the Contract Book with Pan Dehai around would be a death sentence. He'd be better off running away with the Contract Book. If the Contract Book is really on him, should I give chase too? But what could I do if I did? I definitely can't beat Pan Dehai. Gao Shuxia is a Wounded Demon Fiend; I can't beat her either. Hundred-Eyes Fish is a Wandering Monster. According to the Cook, her cultivation level is far above mine, so my chances of beating her are slim. If I follow them now, I won't gain anything, let alone something as crucial as the Contract Book. But if I don't chase, I won't know who ends up with the Contract Book.
