Now that things have come to this, we can only take it one step at a time. If all else fails, he can withdraw.
After so many twists and turns, he understood that Tianjiao Peak was a tough nut to crack; one wrong move and he'd be broken. Thinking of this, Han Shikuan wasn't in a hurry anymore.
Man proposes, God disposes!
However, no matter how hard the three tried, they couldn't find Jiang Mian. After all that trouble, the three were both annoyed and dejected.
Qin Su and Mo Lan stood outside the circle, watching the three perform as if they were watching a circus.
“We’re on someone else’s turf. Whether they want to meet or not is a matter that can be resolved in a minute. Why can’t you understand that? You’ve wasted so much effort.” Mo Lan shook her head, feeling that the three of them were being too clever for their own good.
"They've just gotten into a vicious cycle and don't want to admit defeat anytime soon. Now that they've finished their fuss, isn't it our turn to step in?"
Qin Su glanced at Mo Lan. He felt nothing for the three of them. They were wrong from the start, and no one would appreciate it if he tried to make amends later.
"Alright, the show's over, and the trade fair's almost over. It's time to have a chat with Jiang Mian."
Jiang Mian has been busy entertaining one group of prominent merchants after another these days.
During this time, although they met twice, neither Mo Lan nor Qin Su approached, and simply nodded as a greeting.
Jiang Mian was a smart man. Since they had appeared, they would inevitably meet again later. So he didn't deliberately show any enthusiasm. However, Mo Lan could always feel Jiang Mian's gaze sweeping over her. Occasionally, their eyes would meet in the air, but Mo Lan pretended not to notice the rest of the time.
After reaching an agreement, the two left the trading venue together.
Walking back onto the street, looking at the bustling vendors and the flowing crowds, Qin Su finally focused her attention on Mo Lan.
"If Jiang Mian agrees to join the iron ore mining at Tianjiao Peak, what are your plans next?"
"Well? I'm very busy. I came down the mountain this time to inspect the shops, but I didn't expect to be stuck at Tianjiao Peak. I haven't decided whether to continue or not."
She has many businesses under her control now, and if she gets really busy, she might not even have time to sleep. However, she is by no means a conventional person; she will absolutely not meddle in matters that can be delegated to her subordinates.
If you do everything yourself, aren't you just asking for trouble?
So, it's not that she doesn't want to say where she'll go next; there's simply no specific itinerary.
Qin Su felt a lump in her throat upon hearing Mo Lan's perfunctory reply, but considering her usual behavior, she could understand.
"If nothing else happens, I'm more likely to return to Liangjing then."
"Oh~"
Mo Lan gave a casual "oh," her eyes fixed on the stalls laid out on either side. Qin Su felt uncomfortable watching her. He didn't know why he had told her his plans, but her dismissive attitude annoyed him.
I wanted to ask a couple of questions, but then I felt like I was being too dramatic.
Watching Mo Lan carelessly pick and choose, Qin Su tugged at the corners of his lips and revealed a bitter smile. He had never been able to get along with this woman.
"Miss Mo Lan, so you've been here. My master invites you in."
After searching for a long time, Mu Zi finally found the two in the crowd. Thinking of the Prince's attention to Miss Mo Lan, he dared not slack off for a moment.
"Is your lord not busy anymore?"
