Standing at the entrance of her residence, Ning Xian pleaded, "Master, please come with us." Her eyes were bright with unshed tears, ready to flow down her cheeks.
"My dear disciple, I belong here in Autumn Glory City. I can't leave," Qiu Liaoxi said with a comforting smile. "My heart is with you, but my duty is to the Jiang Clan."
She then moved closer and tenderly wiped Ning Xian's tears, adding in a soft yet determined voice, "I want to use my alchemy skills to repay Jiang Chen's kindness for saving my life, dedicating everything I can to help the Jiang Clan."
At that moment, Jiang Chen bowed respectfully to Qiu Liaoxi, saying with gratitude, "We shall respect your wishes, Alchemist Qiu."
"Thank you, Jiang Chen," Qiu Liaoxi replied with appreciation.
