Sky Palace Leader told Han Sen to go back and think about it. Once he had made up his mind, he would inform him of his decision.
"If I go, I won't have to spend two or three years recovering. I can also get the support of the Very High. That is a great benefit, but I risk exposing my identity.
If I don't go, it won't be bad, but I'll have to spend a year recovering. During that time, I won't be able to do much, and my training will be stagnant. If I want resources, I'll have to rely on myself. "On his way back, Han Sen was weighing the pros and cons.
After thinking about it for a while, Han Sen decided to stay in Sky Palace. Recovering would only take a little time, and he could earn resources on his own. It would just take a little longer.
But if his secret identity was exposed, it would be too dangerous. It could affect the safety of the entire human race.
When Han Sen returned to the little jade island, Phyllostachys Longipes was already there. He looked fine, and he didn't look like he had just been released from prison.
"I have decided to go to the Very High." Phyllostachys Longipes's first words shocked Han Sen.
"Why so sudden?"
Han Sen looked at Phyllostachys Longipes with confusion. Phyllostachys Longipes had said he wouldn't go. He would rather stay in prison than go. Now that he was out, he had changed his mind.
"I don't have to go, but I can't let you go in my place. If that's the case, I'd rather go myself," Phyllostachys Longipes said coldly.
"Leader said he would find a way. Maybe neither of us will have to go," Han Sen said.
Phyllostachys Longipes shook his head. "What can we do? Someone has to go. Even if it isn't you or me, it will be another student of Sky Palace. So, I have decided to go to the Very High."
"Do you want to use Uncle Good Heart's Extreme Evil Path?"
Han Sen asked doubtfully. Phyllostachys Longipes wasn't someone who would compromise so easily. If he had decided to go because of this, then there was no need for him to insist.
Phyllostachys Longipes shook his head again. "Using the Extreme Evil Path can help you avoid being watched by the Very High, but if you are possessed by an evil mind, you will still be watched by an evil mind. They are both being watched, so there isn't much difference between the two."
Han Sen now understood. Yu Shanxin hadn't told him the most important part, and he had done it on purpose.
"Then what do you plan to do?" Han Sen asked.
Phyllostachys Longipes looked at the sea of clouds calmly. "If the Very High can sense what I sense, then I will not think about anything. I will only do what I want her to know. That way, she will only be able to see what I want her to know."
"That will be difficult." Han Sen knew how difficult that would be.
There were many ways a person could control others, but controlling oneself was difficult. Sometimes, the most difficult enemy to defeat was oneself.
That was why Han Sen admired Ning Yue. He had used a beast soul to spy on Ning Yue, but Ning Yue had spent years studying Buddhism. He hadn't been able to get any information from Ning Yue. Han Sen didn't think he could do that.
Now, Phyllostachys Longipes was planning the same thing. He wanted to use his willpower to control himself. He wanted to make it difficult for Exquisite to spy on him.
Although he knew Phyllostachys Longipes was making this choice because he didn't want Han Sen to become his replacement, Han Sen couldn't say anything about it.
If he was alone, he would have made the same decision as Phyllostachys Longipes. He would have fought the demon in his heart.
But right now, Han Sen was tied to the fate of billions of people in the sanctuaries. If he lost and Exquisite learned about his secrets, he wouldn't be the only one hurt. So, Han Sen couldn't say anything.
"After I go, there is something I want you to do for me," Phyllostachys Longipes said quietly. That was why he had come.
"What is it?" Han Sen asked.
"Help me take care of a child. Her name is Flower," Phyllostachys Longipes said.
"A student of Sky Palace?
What is she to you? "Han Sen asked with confusion.
Phyllostachys Longipes shook his head. After a moment of thought, he said, "She and Purple Eye Butterfly depend on each other. After I combined with Purple Eye Butterfly's genes, she has been following me. She wants to kill me to avenge Purple Eye Butterfly. That might be troublesome. So, when I go to the Very High, I hope you can take care of her for me."
"It sounds like a complicated relationship, but don't worry. If you want her to live, I'll take care of her for you," Han Sen agreed.
"That's good." Phyllostachys Longipes let out a long sigh of relief. It was like a boulder had been lifted from his chest.
Ordinary people would have found it hard to believe that Phyllostachys Longipes cared so much about someone who wanted to kill him. But Han Sen could understand. So, he didn't ask any questions. He just asked about Flower's situation.
Seeing Phyllostachys Longipes leave, Han Sen suddenly had the urge to be like Phyllostachys Longipes. So what if he went to the Very High?
All he had to do was fight the demon in his heart. If Ning Yue could do it, and if Phyllostachys Longipes dared to do it, Han Sen couldn't do it, either.
But then he thought about the trouble he was in. With a wry smile, Han Sen dismissed the idea.
He thought this was the end of the matter, but things were developing in a way that Han Sen and Phyllostachys Longipes hadn't expected.
Very High Exquisite refused to take Phyllostachys Longipes to the Very High. She insisted that Han Sen go with her. She said that she would only take Han Sen with her. She wouldn't consider anyone else.
This result shocked Han Sen. He didn't react for a long time. When he did, he wanted to slap himself.
"Why did I go to a meeting? I didn't care if I went to a meeting. I didn't care if I tested my talent. Why did I have to help the God Spirit Touch evolve? I was just asking for trouble." Han Sen thought he was an idiot.
But at the time, Han Sen hadn't thought there would be a replacement. He didn't think it would have anything to do with him. He hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
If he had known this would happen, Han Sen would have stayed home and played games. He wouldn't have gone to a meeting.
"I brought this upon myself." Han Sen sighed.
"Han Sen, have you thought about it?" Han Sen was on his way to meet with Sky Palace Leader when he saw Yu Shan-shin smiling.
"I am going to the Very High," Han Sen said coldly.
"Do you need me to use my Extreme Evil Path to help you?" Yu Shan-shin asked with a smile.
"Uncle Yu, you didn't tell me that evil thoughts could invade my privacy." Han Sen lifted his lips.
"It's better for me to see than for others to see. We are family. It's fine. It's fine." Yu Shan-shin's face didn't change as he smiled.
Han Sen rolled his eyes at him. He was too lazy to say anything. He followed Yu Shan-shin to the meeting room. He had already decided to go to the Very High. If he didn't, things wouldn't end well.
Plus, during this time, Han Sen thought of a way to deal with the Very High.
