Listening to what Chu Meng said, Gu An knew he could survive and leave this time.
But returning to the Sect would definitely mean facing adversaries on all sides.
Under such circumstances, how long could he live?
Or perhaps, the Law Enforcement Hall needed him to leave, and then to die at the hands of those people.
That would be considered an explanation.
After all, everything requires an origin—someone to account for it.
And this time the Sect's affairs had caused a huge uproar; someone must take the blame for everything.
Even if they merely played a part in starting the fire.
As long as they're involved, that's enough.
And as the source, becoming the explanation for those with significant losses is inevitable.
He is, without a doubt, the top choice.
Do they have to be at odds with him?
Not really, but even if he dies, their losses won't be recovered.
So it's considered a process; it makes things look better.
Everyone gets a way out.
