With a long sigh in his heart, An Jing gathered his spirit and said to the girl, "I indeed pretended not to know because I didn't want to get involved in your troubles."
"But the fact is, I can't avoid this, can I?"
"I'm sorry. But indeed, that's the case," the girl said somewhat sheepishly as she nodded slightly, "Although you might think this is alarmist, the person who has been targeting you and my enemy are actually the same group, and their main target is me."
"Once they succeed, Kanming City will be destroyed, and no matter how far I run, I'll be captured... Your Strange Mandate is no exception, you'll be caught by those people and sacrificed alive..."
"Stop for a moment."
