The bearded man was embarrassed to the point of being red in the face and ears but still refused to relent or change his perspective, "It's not that I'm overthinking and too timid, you also know that this is no small matter, it concerns the future of the Immortal Lands. Even if we don't consider the long term, if something goes wrong, even upon returning to the Immortal Lands, we won't be able to explain ourselves to the people above."
He pleaded earnestly, "Li Zi, I know you want to return sooner, but even so, we can't just bring anyone back with us. If something happens, neither you nor I will be able to bear it, you know what Master's methods are like. By then, it would be more than just being in a place devoid of daylight, we might not even keep our lives."
