Xu Xing stood atop the snowy peak, hands behind his back. After glancing at Wu Miao, he spoke.
The wisdom of a Dao Pill Cultivator far surpasses that of ordinary officials. Even the worst of them, after much experience, could see the reason behind his actions. Moreover, Wu Miao is considered by Sect Master Fang to be the successor to the Starfall Sect's leadership position. She couldn't be so foolish as to not see this point.
"For power," Wu Miao said after a pause.
"Zuoqiu Ying was once Ruan Baimei's fiancée. Later, through my intervention, she became the one I married to form an alliance with the Nanhua Sect..." Xu Xing continued, "In Crow Saintess's view, can this emotional bond compare to the one between you and me?"
He turned his head, his gaze returning to Wu Miao as he posed the question.
Snowflakes from the Snow Mountain drifted down, landing on Wu Miao's dark hair and slender shoulders, blanketing them in a thin layer.
Wu Miao stood silently, offering no reply.
