At Luo Shuchang's call, the shadowy figure of Xia Qingge revealed itself. She hurriedly bowed in salute, though she kept her locked onto Luo Shuchang even as she lowered her head.
"Apologies, Senior. I had no ill intentions," she said, though Luo Shuchang simply shook his head.
"No need to call me senior. I'm not much older than you are," he said, lying through his teeth.
"I assume you were also here for the inheritance, correct?"
"Yes, that is–"
"Then let me remind you. Although I promised to no longer pursue the inheritance, if it were to exchange hands, that promise would no longer apply. I'm sure you understand?"
Xia Qingge gulped in response to Luo Shuchang's 'reminder', feeling an immense pressure falling upon her shoulders despite him already having fallen back to the Golden Core realm in cultivation. She held her bow, not daring to move for fear of giving Luo Shuchang an excuse to act.
