Watching the guards leave, Xiao Lin withdrew his gaze. "Madam is skilled in strategy, but unfortunately, your attempts to sow discord have no effect on me."
"So, you've seen through it!" Ye Liqing laughed foolishly, covering her mouth, letting out a scent of herbs.
"Someone like Madam, why would she travel so far alone! That's one reason. Secondly, with Madam's beauty, how could I ever be worthy?"
"Since you saw through it from the start, why play along with this act?"
"I just wanted Madam to understand one thing — my people are not so easily spied upon." Xiao Lin lifted Ye Liqing's hand to his lips and kissed it. "Since it's an act, let's play it through. Farewell."
"Xiao Lin!" Ye Liqing called out to him.
"Is there anything else?" Turning around, Ye Liqing's ears turned red. "You are a formidable opponent, I hope our Dark Realm doesn't have to become enemies with you."
