Qin Yu had never considered anything about severing ties since there was neither a formal relationship nor any informal emotions involved; being a scumbag, there was nothing merciless in cutting all connections. There was nothing between them, not a semblance of a relationship.
Thus, once she decided to rescue Yue Taichu, she knew she had truly fallen out with Lin Heng.
That didn't matter to her; she had thick skin, and when one face was torn, she had several more underneath.
What mattered was she had her own mission pace.
The first step was naturally to rescue Yue Taichu.
—Why not choose Lin Heng?
"Why?" Qin Yu asked herself, already sneaking into the palace, directly entering the mysterious dungeon where Yue Taichu was imprisoned with precise accuracy.
"What else could it be?"
"Because I've grown up, I need to learn to make my own choices, to avoid dangers, and to choose the safest route possible," she added in her mind as she saw the distraught Yue Taichu.
