I got that much. The thing that bugs me is his motive. He’s supposedly a strategist so his moves definitely can’t be random. I don’t think he’s actually after Jinshi and is only targetting Maomao. When Jinshi carried Maomao out after she was injured in that ceremony thing, Lakan had a shocked expression and that’s just giving me mixed signals with how he usually acts. It makes me think he wasn’t directly involved with Suirei’s plot but then it’s even weirder that he didn’t notice anything.

TLDR I feel like all the clues to figure out his goal are right there but I’m just too blind to figure it out.
