This response seemed to disregard Xiao Rongyan's true identity.
Xiao Rongyan couldn't figure out if this Miss Bai wanted to form a good relationship with him or... wanted to please everyone.
He deeply understood this Miss Bai's abilities and was aware of her methods. Even though Bai Qingyan with a fierce cape and horse in the Shu Imperial Palace left a lasting impression on him, and even though he once regarded Bai Qingyan as his mother's confidante at the Jin Kingdom palace banquet, it inevitably made him more cautious.
What he bore on his shoulders was not just his own achievements; if he failed in his pursuits, he could simply bide his time and try again.
What he shouldered was the responsibility of the revival of Yan. In the contest for dominance among the heroes, failure meant the fall of the country.
If he failed, he couldn't bear it!
