As Qin Ruan returned Lan An's stare with a similar probing and vigilant gaze, a spark flickered briefly in his arrogant eyes.
Lan An slowly lowered his head, hiding the deep and restless emotions in his eyes.
What scared him most was when the atmosphere suddenly went quiet.
This was a silent battle, and Lan An was the first to back down and end it.
Lingfeng suddenly stood up, she walked over to Lan An and murmured, "I want to return to the mountain."
Lan An looked up, the bleak expression on his face melting away like snow.
His eyes softened and said gently, "Once we find the Huangjue Tree, we can return to Qi Mountain?"
Lingfeng had only first entered the mortal world hundreds of years ago, she had rarely ventured out since then.
When she left Qi Mountain this time, Lan An had been worried about her being alone on the mountain and firmly insisted on her traveling with him.
"Okay," Lingfeng agreed.
She still stood beside Lan An in silence.
