"Emperor Jade, you..."
"Don't be so quick to get angry. I have my reasons for deceiving you."
Emperor Jade's face remained unchanged, completely unfazed by Lin Fan's angry expression. She casually brushed it off and spoke lightly.
"Reasons? What reasons?" Lin Fan was stunned, utterly bewildered.
"Do you think, in your state just now, you could have saved anyone?"
Emperor Jade did not rush to explain but instead asked a question in return.
Lin Fan was left speechless.
Moments ago, he was anxious and restless, filled with a burning rage that he wanted to unleash, teetering between impulse and fear, his mind consumed only with thoughts of rescue and death.
He was completely dominated by his emotions in that state.
It was impossible to make the right judgment.
If he had rushed up the mountain like that, it would have been as Emperor Jade said, a scenario where he might not survive, leaving no remains.
