As Niruo stopped walking, Le Yin asked leisurely.
"The mask is not in my possession," Niruo calmly said. "It belongs to Shuangli Palace."
"But she can't use it either," Le Yin took a sip of red juice and laughed, "Even if the Mad Mask belongs to Shuangli Palace, you're also her possession. Do you really need to draw such clear lines?"
"Of course, I need to," Niruo turned his head to look at him and calmly said, "She holds the Mad Mask, symbolizing that she's my Sword Master, and I'm her sword sheath. Her role in my battles isn't meaningless. On the contrary, if she stays by my side, she can elevate my combat prowess by a tier."
"Does it really matter?" Le Yin asked, "With the Holy Sword Shimmering contract, you two can trust each other completely. You don't need such redundant bonds..."
