Lin Qingyuan said contemptuously, "I finally see you for who you truly are today—an unloyal friend. You're no better than Chu Jiu."
Lu Liangwei shrugged, not at all irritated. Instead, she grinned and said, "You can only blame yourself for being slow and only realizing it now."
Speechless, Lin Qingyuan turned her back on her and followed Chu Jiu swiftly into the trees.
Lu Liangwei stood by and waited. Not long after, she heard an agonizing scream coming from inside.
Shocked and thinking that Chu Jiu and Lin Qingyuan had been assaulted, she called out anxiously to the guards who were not far off, "Guards, guards!"
After shouting, she grasped a couple of silver needles between her fingers and raced toward the source of the sound.
However, she had just reached the entrance of the woods when she saw Chu Jiu and Lin Qingyuan walk out.
There were suspicious blushes on both of their faces.
