The National Master had been staying in the Astrology Tower for a long time, only meeting with the Former Emperor. Gao Zhou had never interacted with him, but it was clear that he was well-aware of their situation here.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Gao Zhou asked, staring at him. He couldn't deny it; what Ning Ran had just said was correct. Ning Ran indeed wasn't afraid of anything, while they, having to protect their families, couldn't confront him head-on.
Who would have thought that a discussion about commerce would lead to such a mess?
"I don't want to do anything. Anyway, Bai Ruozhu is looking for me, and I'm too lazy to run around. I'll just stay with you and wait for her," Ning Ran said casually.
Gao Zhou glared at him in anger, "Then why did you run before? Now you're here, using a child as leverage. Aren't you ashamed as a dignified National Master?"
