At this, the Flower Venerable paused for a moment before continuing in the same tone.
"I heard you had some conflict with Cao Xing'an in Longya City. If you're willing to use one of your opportunities..."
"...I would even kill Cao Xing'an for you."
The Flower Venerable spoke these words with utter conviction.
As she spoke, the hand she had placed on Zhong Yi's shoulder trembled slightly, a tremor born from a mix of turbulent emotions.
Ever since the seed had taken root in her, it felt as though a gray fog had shrouded the Flower Venerable's heart.
At that moment, the Flower Venerable felt as if the clouds were finally parting and the fog was lifting.
Zhong Yi watched the change in the Flower Venerable's emotions and completely understood her state of mind.
The Flower Venerable had been like a terminally ill patient, every day filled with uncertainty.
Now that the Flower Venerable knew her grave illness was about to be cured, her joy was only natural.
