Isa's body trembled, and she bit her teeth, wondering why Lin Da had caught up.
"While the fireworks festival isn't over yet, you should go find Lulu. And Lia, Monica, they're waiting for you too."
"What about Isa?" Lin Da asked.
"I... I will go back to the Ice Flower villa."
"But didn't Fannis and the others go to South Rock City? It's the rare Winter Festival; do you want to spend it alone in the empty mansion?"
"Otherwise, what else?" Isa's composure started to crack, her voice wailed, "It can only be this way."
She had been rejected by Lin Da and couldn't bring herself to do what Lia did, acting shamelessly, kicking Lin Da and still clinging to his side.
A gloomy exit was the best outcome.
"Remember that bet?"
Lin Da said, "If the Phoenix Tail Flower adventure team's strategy ranks catch up to Ice Flower's within three years, you'll join my team, and vice versa."
Isa nodded.
