In a courtyard within the Pill Alliance, only Dugu Nian and Fang Lin were present.
"I'm sorry." As soon as Dugu Nian opened her mouth, she apologized to Fang Lin, looking downcast, afraid to meet his eyes.
Fang Lin seemed very calm and asked, "What exactly is the matter?"
Dugu Nian lightly bit her lip, appearing very hesitant, as though she had something difficult to say.
Fang Lin looked at Dugu Nian and said, "If you don't want to speak, it's alright."
Dugu Nian raised her head, her eyes reflecting a hint of sadness. "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I don't want to get you involved."
Fang Lin indifferently replied, "It seems like I am already involved."
Dugu Nian was taken aback, but soon came to understand.
Indeed, even if she didn't tell Fang Lin anything, hoping that he could remain outside of the whirlpool, the Dugu Family still considered Fang Lin as an obstacle and had already implicated him.
