After such a long time apart, he'll have to settle accounts properly. And now that it's in his hands again, it won't be as easy to escape as it was last time.

He was the only Yinglong in the world, and he had done everything he was supposed to do, yet he ran away the next day!

Do you think he's for sale? You use him and then kick him to the curb, and you think you can get away scot-free?

Absolutely impossible!

Geng Chen gritted his teeth and took Shen Yan away. Shen Tan followed Bai Hao. Although he had come out, he didn't quite trust Bai Hao anymore. He happened to see Qin Nan standing to the side, so he stepped forward and pulled Qin Nan aside to talk.

Qin Nan was pulled away, looking at Shen Tan with a puzzled expression.

Qin Nan: "What's wrong?"

Chen Tan glanced at Bai Hao, then leaned closer to Qin Nan and whispered, "Brother Anan, have you... have you met Jie Chong?"

Qin Nan nodded: "I've seen him before, I saw him when I went to Dongwang Mountain."

Shen Tan: "Did he...did he ask Bai Hao about Shan You?"

Qin Nan paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, when we first met, he did ask Bai Hao how Shan You was doing."

Upon hearing this, Chen Tan stiffened, her voice becoming somewhat hoarse: "Then... Shan You... is he coming back?"

Seeing Shen Tan's unusual behavior, Qin Nan recalled Bai Hao's words and actions and suddenly realized how Bai Hao had tricked people out of the house.

However, Qin Nan did not intend to lie: "Probably not. He seems to be with a mountain god who is protecting him, and he shouldn't be coming back unless something happens."

Shen Tan looked up in surprise, a glint of light appearing in his eyes.

Qin Nan: "You like Jie Chong?"

Chen Tan nodded shyly.

Qin Nan: "Although I've only met Jie Chong once, perhaps his feelings for Shan You aren't that kind of. If you're unsure, you might as well ask him in person, and..."

Qin Nan leaned closer to Chen Tan and continued, "Moreover, although Bai Hao is a liar, he is still Bai Ze. He must know what Jie Chong is thinking. Since he led you to see him, it must mean that he has feelings for you."

Shen Tan felt as if he had been enlightened, and his face immediately lit up with joy. He was truly blinded by his own involvement.

Qin Nan looked at the relieved and happy Shen Tan, then glanced back at Bai Hao who was looking over, and smiled smugly.
