Surprised, it took a while for Elder Qin’nyao to process what Fang Xing had just said. She’d originally intended to use Xiao Mahn as a bargaining chip to make Fang Xing work for her when it was necessary, but having money demanded from her made her feel reluctant. A quick thought flew across her mind while she maintained her expression. "Who said I wouldn’t allow you to see her?" she calmly replied.
It was Fang Xing’s turn to be confused. If she wasn’t unhappy about Shijie Linyun bringing Xiao Mahn here, why did this woman put on such a solemn face? Shijie Linyun had obviously just been scolded as well. However, since Elder Qin’nyao wasn’t forbidding him from visiting Xiao Mahn out of dislike for him, he decided to keep these thoughts to himself. "Why did you say I have guts, then?" he asked.
"Does it not require guts to so casually meet with others despite being in confinement?"
