Song Xiwei still couldn't see through whether this kid was still harboring some kind of intention.

But she couldn't think of any better solutions at the moment, so she could only wait and see.

In short, she would keep a close eye on him, and whatever he wanted to do, she would secretly keep an eye on him.

"Whether you're confident or not, you'll know once you go."

Song Xiwei came to her senses, put her hand on Aoqian's shoulder, and led Aoqian unnoticed from the pharmacy to the entrance of the Heavenly Cloud Ladder behind the Dragon Bone Branch Master.

When Song Xiwei released Aoqian's hand, she found that Aoqian was distracted.

"Young Master, we've arrived," Song Xiwei reminded him.

Ao Qian's face remained expressionless, but his hands, hidden in his sleeves, were secretly clenched.

He paused, then looked up at Song Xiwei. "You clearly still doubt me. You have no confidence in this Heavenly Ladder except for what I told you. Why did you still come here with me without any regard for the consequences?"

Aoqian didn't ask the question aloud; he just stared at her, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Song Xiwei felt that although Aoqian was looking at her, he was distracted. She wondered what this kid was up to!

Ao Qian composed himself and, seeing Song Xiwei staring intently at the entrance to the cloud ladder, said to her, "I'll go first. If things go wrong, you can leave immediately..."

Before he could finish speaking, Song Xiwei grabbed his hand and, with an unquestionable tone, pulled him up the steps to the entrance of the Heavenly Ladder, saying, "We'll stand together!"

In his daze, Aoqian's mind was so stunned by Song Xiwei's words, "advance and retreat together," that he could not hear any other sounds.

Then he heard Song Xiwei's playful voice, filled with surprise amidst the whistling wind, saying, "Young Master, look! From this Heavenly Cloud Ladder, you can see the entire Dragon Bone Branch Altar! What a wonderful place! Looking at it this way, the terrain of the Dragon Bone Branch Altar really does resemble the coiled remains of a dragon!"

“It’s not just that it looks like it, it’s definitely formed from dragon bones.” Ao Qian rarely saw Song Xiwei with such a childlike smile.

Upon reflection, the two had only known each other for a short time, and he didn't know much about Song Xiwei.

Judging by their appearances, the two are about the same age.

However, Song Xiwei's strength was unfathomable, and he always appeared as a reliable protector by his side, even appearing more mature and dignified than him. This made Aoqian overlook Song Xiwei's true age.

At this moment, he had a doubt in his mind, so he asked Song Xiwei on the spot, "I still don't know how old you are?"

“I’m a month older than Shaojun,” Song Xiwei said casually.

Aoqian said "Oh".

Song Xiwei withdrew her wandering gaze and stared intently at Ao Qian, grinning broadly as she said, "Putting aside our superior-subordinate relationship, in private, if you would be willing to call me 'brother,' I would be more than happy to!"

Aoqian remained expressionless, his thoughts a mystery.

Song Xiwei suddenly felt that it would be a wonderful thing to be able to pry open this kid's mouth and get him to obediently call her "brother".

So, Song Xiwei, with a teasing smile, coaxed and tricked Aoqian, saying, "How about it? Want to call me brother? There are many benefits to having me as your brother; I can introduce you to lots of pretty girls..."

Aoqian's face changed in an instant, and his cold snort was especially clear amidst the howling wind.

Song Xiwei felt that this kid was too inconsiderate. It was clearly Aoqian who took the initiative to ask her age, and she thought that he had finally shown some humanity.

It turns out this guy just asked casually and never intended to build a deep friendship with me!

Enough, enough, she was just being delusional.
