Refuse the invitation from Agent Zhu?
Indeed, it isn't a bad idea.
It's just from the tone of that Agent Zhu in my memories, it's not something that can be easily refused.
Unless Bai Yi chooses to run away.
But it's likely that the surroundings have already been surrounded tightly by various officials from Zhuchen, and any intention to escape by Bai Yi would be immediately noticed.
Moreover, doing so would completely antagonize Zhuchen; even if Bai Yi managed to escape with Ju's abilities, Zhuchen would likely, no, definitely, find ways to pursue Bai Yi.
Afterwards, her development wouldn't be stable.
Her motive for development is merely to gain enough strength to complete her mission, not to occupy the planet.
As for cooperating with Zhuchen…
Bai Yi thought it through and found it indeed possible.
She just nearly fell into a misconception; her Insect Swarm can develop completely without her presence.
