Xiao Lao stood in the middle to mediate.
"Enough, stop arguing. I know you are all concerned for Shuang'er's well-being," he said.
"I'm sure the Zhao Family won't easily trouble Shuang'er. Don't forget, your Ye Family's roots in Dragon Country are also very deep."
A'niu immediately added, "How can we gamble with Shuang'er's life?"
"This isn't gambling, it's strategic maneuvering."
Xiao Lao bowed his head and pondered for a moment.
Then he said, "Previously, Shuang'er was used by Shangguan Feng as a host for raising a small ghost, wasn't she?"
Ye Ruoxue and A'niu nodded together.
"Since Shangguan Feng was from Fire Dragon Mountain, what you should do is spread the word that Shuang'er's body still harbors the essential blood of an important person from the Ghost Gate Sect."
Ye Ruoxue didn't catch on, "Xiao Lao, what do you mean by this? Isn't that asking for trouble?"
"Wouldn't the Ghost Gate Sect find out and just kidnap Shuang'er directly?"
