"You... you'll take me with you when you leave, right?"
Qiu Zimo thought about how they were leaving first thing in the morning, and he had never mentioned whether he should be taken along. So, he couldn't help himself and asked.
Ye Que slowly turned around, his face expressionless, "If you're seeking a reward from me, I might satisfy your cravings, but if you want to follow me, that's impossible."
Qiu Zimo was surprised, "Are you going back on your word?"
"No, I haven't denied that you've cured my woman's legs without offering a reward."
"But the reward I want is to be by your side, to work at your company."
"Qiu Zimo," Ye Que said, his name coming out cold and bone-chilling, "since you know of me, you should also be aware of my methods. Forcing things that shouldn't be forced never ends well."
