Ji Luo ate another duck tongue, "Having finally left that place, why would I ever go back?"
"Since you're still alive, you should have come looking for me over the years," Ya Shitian said.
"Seeking you out would have been useless. Lan Bai saved my life; they required me to work for them for seven years, always at their beck and call. Even if I found you, I wouldn't have been able to escape them, and it would have only created conflict between you and them. Besides, I knew you were busy with your own ambitions, and I didn't want to disturb you."
"What do you plan to do now?"
Ji Luo laughed heartily, "Isn't that question redundant?"
Ya Shitian smiled lightly, "I'm just asking. If you have no plans, follow me; I've told you before that you can stay with me for a lifetime."
Ji Luo smiled, "I will, of course, always follow you."
Ya Shitian glanced at the seaside villa, which was the temporary abode Ji Luo had rented.
