"Sо wе must сling tо eaсh оthеr, biting dоwn hаrd. The fierсеr we fight, the mоre theу will trust us."

Shаngguаn Qiаn wаs рerfeсtly composed, hеr vоicе cаrrуing а mаidenlу innосеnсe: "Тhen let's fight. Show sоmе merсy, won't yоu?"

"Do we hаve anу?" Yun Wеishаn suddеnlу аskеd.

What kind of аffеctiоn соuld pеoрlе from Wufeng роssibly shаre?

"Havе any what?"

"Аffесtion." Yun Wеishan suddenly fеlt аn indеscribаblе sаdnеss. "Yоu tоld me tо shоw merсy, but dо we evеn havе аnу?"

"Yun Weishаn..." Shаngguаn Qiаn called оut to her. "If we eaсh get chosеn by them, thе roаd аheаd will be difficult."

Yun Weishan didn't turn around, her expression unclear, leaving only two words: "Take care."

In the early morning, the night dew had washed the grass fresh and clean. The mountain mist had mostly dispersed, and the light was abundant.

Jin Fan strode briskly toward the gate of Yu Manor. He had urgent business and was in a hurry, but halfway there, he looked up and saw the graceful back of a woman waiting for him ahead.

The woman slowly turned her head, revealing a shy smile... It was Gong Zishang.

Jin Fan's pupils trembled as if facing a formidable enemy. He immediately turned and walked in another direction. But before he could take two steps, Gong Zishang called out to him.

"Jin Fan!"

Jin Fan had no choice but to bow. "Young Miss."

Seeing him, Gong Zishang felt immense sweetness, covering her face with a smile. Yet Jin Fan always avoided her whenever they met.

"Where are you going?" But she never lost heart. At this moment, she circled around him like a colorful koi.

Jin Fan felt dizzy and had a headache but still answered truthfully: "The medical hall."

Because the Hundred Herbs Extract taken by the old Blade Master and the Young Lord had issues, he needed to investigate thoroughly.

Gong Zishang pointed behind herself. "The gate is here. Where are you heading?"

"It's fine. I'll take a detour so as not to disturb you, Young Miss."

Gong Zishang pouted. "Such a fine man, yet so spineless. Encountering a little obstacle ahead..." She pointed at herself. "Oh, no, encountering a little surprise, yet you don't face the challenge head-on... oh, no, you don't charge forward. What a waste of such a handsome appearance."

Jin Fan steeled himself. "What does this have to do with my appearance?"

Gong Zishang was just talking nonsense. Taking advantage of Jin Fan's confusion, she stepped forward, grabbed him, and pulled him along toward the medical hall.

Jin Fan was dragged along. "Young Miss, where are you going?"

Gong Zishang smiled charmingly. "The medical hall."
