Shi Shaochuan and Jin Qingyue continued to wait until nighttime, even though An Xiaoning was yet to show up.
"Shaochuan, let's head back, we can't just keep waiting here. She's not the only one who knows how to perform such rituals anyway, we can just look for someone else," said an enraged Jin Qingyue, thinking that An Xiaoning was avoiding them on purpose.
"What if it doesn't work again like the previous time?" Shi Shaochuan answered.
"What do we do, then?" asked Jin Qingyue, getting a little anxious and impatient.
"Go upstairs and tell her that I'm sincere in having a discussion with her and that I'll do everything she says."
Jin Qingyue proceeded to do as he instructed, though she was unsure if it would work or not.
"Got it, I'll go down in a bit," An Xiaoning answered.
Jin Qingyue then headed downstairs to wait for her.
