"But Long Yuetian is neither a relative nor a friend to us. Why should we save her?" Zhai Yunsheng asked rhetorically.
"What do you mean by that? Do you not care about her?" Situ Zhong replied as the expression on his face changed drastically.
If Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling were heartless individuals, all their work would be in vain.
"Why should we care about her? And compared to her life, shouldn't the Xie family's piece of vellum be more valuable?"
Zhai Yunsheng's gaze was sharp and he seemed to know everything.
"Don't act as though you know what we're looking for. Even if that piece of vellum was placed in front of you, you wouldn't know what it's used for," Situ Zhong answered contemptuously.
Situ Zhong assumed that even if Jian Yiling was a descendant of the Xie family, it was unlikely for her to know what secrets were hidden in that piece of vellum.
