After Hong Yulang and the others left, Luo Song returned to the valley.
He walked straight into Hong Mingyue's room, where Hong Mingyue was meditating.
Ever since her defeat at the Daxia Imperial Competition more than a month ago, where the treachery of the Hong Residence failed, both Hong Mingyue and Luo Song had fled back to Three-Life Valley in disgrace. Since then, it was as if Hong Mingyue had transformed into someone else.
Her former pride and coldness seemed to have vanished in an instant.
"Ming Yue, I've sent the people away as you asked, but I don't understand. Hong Yulang is your only relative; why did you drive him away?"
"My brother has been a profligate since he was young. If he stayed in the Three-Life Valley, he would remain so for life. Driving him away, to fend for himself, is also for his own good," Hong Mingyue said slowly.
"I did as you said and helped you considerably; how do you plan to repay me?"
