Liu Lingying was getting impatient. She glanced back at him and frowned, saying, "Han'er, stop bothering me. Go and get some rest!"

Liang Yihan knew in his heart that Liu Lingying would never let Lingxi go, no matter what. He remained silent in despair for a while, then suddenly thought that perhaps he could buy some time and wait for things to change...

Thinking this, he took out a storage ring, his lips twitched but he didn't smile, and said in a low voice, "Uncle Ying, the divine stone is in this storage ring, but there is a restriction on it, and I can't take anything out of it. Uncle, your cultivation is high, could you help me take a look?"

Liu Lingying grew increasingly impatient. She slammed her hand on the bookshelf and snapped, "Han'er, do you have to bother me? I'm not good at weapon crafting. Go find your Uncle Ning tomorrow morning!"

Liang Yihan pursed her lips, still unwilling to leave.

Liu Lingying waited for a while but didn't hear Liang Yihan's footsteps. She was furious and suddenly turned around, saying angrily, "Han'er, don't bother me, hurry up and leave!"

Liang Yihan's heart sank to the bottom. He remained silent for a moment, then lowered his eyes and replied, "...Yes."

He glanced at Lingxi with a look full of pity, then turned and walked away silently.

Liu Lingying calmed down a little, let out a soft breath, and turned around to start searching for books again.

Lingxi heard Liang Yihan's footsteps as he left the alchemy room, and felt extremely disappointed. Just now, he came, and she had still hoped that he would speak up for her regardless of the consequences, that he would save her and take her away without regard for the outcome.

But in the end, he still couldn't save her; he was no longer the boy he once was.
