"You... would you like some tea?"
"Haha..." Zhu Ju was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.
"I like your kind of personality. You know how to seek advantages and avoid harm. In this world, you have to cling to the powerful to survive."
"The tea won't be necessary."
Seeing Qii Yao get up to prepare the tea, his smile faded.
"Yuann Tong might not come back."
"Hm?" Qii Yao's eyes lit up.
"That's right!"
"Yuann Tong can run far away, and then your plan won't succeed. You're just a Two Acupoints Innate."
"To hell with tea!"
Muttering a curse, she slammed the cup on the floor and resumed her cross-legged position opposite him, continuing her 'stakeout'.
...
「A few days later.」
"DING..."
The Cave Mansion's Copper Bell trembled lightly.
Qii Yao's expression changed, and she hurriedly stood up.
"Yuann Tong is back!"
"Yes." A flicker of resignation, almost too quick to see, crossed Zhu Ju's eyes as he rose unhurriedly.
