"I don't know what deadly place is. If Lingshan sent you to gather information, you'll most likely return empty-handed."
Cang Jue was somewhat surprised by Su Cheng's attitude, but she had no right to be angry.
After all, she needed his help. Perhaps Su Cheng didn't like Lingshan, or perhaps Su Cheng didn't like her, but she didn't care that much.
"I want to know... about the Dead Land. This morning, the area around Xiushan was sealed off by the armored soldiers under the command of Lingshan and the Human Emperor."
"My younger brother... is still in Xiushan, and we've been out of contact for a long time..."
With his head bowed low, it was easy to guess that the Elder of Xiaoyao Peak in Lingshan probably didn't need to ask for favors very often.

What do you mean? Is this because she didn't perform well? You jerk! What the hell do you mean? You're looking down on me now?
But Cang Jue couldn't retaliate, and with a flushed face, she could only swallow her anger...
After all, we need their help. It's better to be patient for a while and take a step back to see the bigger picture. This is all for my younger brother!
"This time, it's my turn... to serve you... too..."
