"Yes!" Mengying said softly, "There's another thing. Lately, someone has been relentlessly trying to assassinate Qiao Xia and Lu Xiaojiu. I've heard news that suggests an intent to not stop until they're dead. The Carefree Sect has been looking the other way, which is quite surprising. Should we step in to help?"
Lu Bai let out a cold laugh, "The Carefree Sect and the Beacon Group have always been at odds. Why should their infighting concern us? When have we ever been on good enough terms to help someone from the Carefree Sect?"
Mengying's gaze dropped slightly, "Lu Xiaojiu..."
"Her affairs have nothing to do with me!" Lu Bai's tone sank, "Don't mention her in front of me again."
"Yes!"
Lu Bai suddenly ended the video call. Mengying took a deep breath, a bitter smile flickering across her lips. She had merely wanted to remind Lu Bai, so he wouldn't end up regretting his inaction if something serious happened.
Miss Qiao Xia fell ill for a full three days.
