However, in the third month after Bai Ling arrived at the valley, an unexpected piece of news shattered their peaceful life.
It turned out that Bai Ling was a disciple of a large sect, and she was sent to approach Luo Chen for some reason, with the purpose of investigating Luo Chen's artifact refining skills.
When Luo Chen learned about this news, he felt very disappointed.
He thought he had found a like-minded friend, only to realize it was all a meticulously designed deception.
Bai Ling looked at Luo Chen's disappointed eyes, her heart full of guilt.
She knew she had hurt Luo Chen's feelings, but she also had her own difficulties.
"Luo Chen, I'm sorry, I... I can't help it," Bai Ling said in a low voice.
Luo Chen was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Bai Ling, I understand your situation, but I hope you can understand that sincerity is more important than anything."
Bai Ling nodded, knowing Luo Chen was right.
