As he watched Guo Mingsheng's receding back, Du Youqian thought to himself:
'It's not like I'm intentionally setting you up.'
'I'm just genuinely not sure if this trip will be dangerous.'
'I just figured, this is Zhongxuan Sect territory, after all.'
'If some big fish really did sneak in, the Sect would never just sit back and do nothing.'
'So even if there are some ghouls and goblins causing trouble, they must be small fry that the Sect can't be bothered to deal with, leaving them for us Garrison cultivators to handle.'
'A minor character like that would probably give the Zhongxuan Sect some face and wouldn't actually attack you.'
'Besides, a lot of people recognize you now and know you're a disciple of the Zhongxuan Sect.'
'Sending you in is the perfect way to flush out the snake from the grass, letting me observe from the shadows and see who's really behind this.'
'And in the worst-case scenario, this is a Mortal City. Even if there is danger, it shouldn't be too great.'
