"What on earth happened?" Wuxing asked anxiously, his concern evident. "We were on good terms earlier, and she even agreed. But why did she become so saddened after your conversation with her, Qianji Elderly Man? What did you say to her?"

"Nothing! Just about the Golden Rolls. I urged her not to jeopardize the mission," Qianji responded angrily.

Qianji had lowered himself to engage in conversation with Lingyun, but it seemed to have backfired.

Lingyun was now at a loss, uncertain of what course of action to take.

"Wuxing, you must keep a close eye on her. You claimed she would do anything for you, but I am not so sure," Qianji advised with a touch of skepticism.

"She actually mentioned that you could marry someone else if things didn't work out between you," Qianji revealed.

"What? That can't be true! Did she really say that?" Wuxing asked, his eyes widening in disbelief.
