Bei Yutang didn't say anything, but waited for him to continue.
Ming carefully observed her reaction. Her face was expressionless and no emotion could be seen. Her heart was as still as water and there was no trace of fluctuation.
As a missioner, she had long been strong-willed. Faced with betrayal, she truly separated from the man. Even the system she belonged to believed she was fine. However, while carrying out her mission, she made a simple mistake, resulting in the failure of her mission. Previously, she had exchanged all her points for a bottle of top-grade elixir for the man she loved, saving his life.
[It can be said that the man's life was given by her. Without points, what awaits her is death, eternal disappearance. She used her life in exchange for the life of that scumbag.]
She was an excellent quester, consistently ranking in the top three of all the system's questers. Even if she never quested again, she could still live a comfortable life. However, she ruined her life for a scumbag.
She is undoubtedly an excellent tasker, but the more excellent a tasker is, the more she cannot escape the shackles of love. I came here today because I don't want to see another one of her.
"I can't be her." Bei Yutang said firmly.
This is the best.
Ming left.
Bei Yutang fell silent, her mind involuntarily recalling a vague shadow, a shadow she wanted to forget. Dust-covered memories flooded into her mind like a tide.
I wonder if that fool is doing well in that world.
Bei Yutang looked at the moonlight outside the window, slowly closed his eyes, and put all his emotions behind him again.

Prime Minister's Mansion
Ah Man reported the results of his investigation, "Sir, I unexpectedly found someone."
"Who is it?"
Ah Man shouted to the people outside, "Come in."
A limping man walked into the study. He had a delicate appearance and a thin figure. If he were not disabled, he would be a handsome young man.
The man immediately knelt down when he saw Zhou Gongjin, "Sir, please save me."
"What happened?"
"I was originally a leading lady of the Ling Clan. At the beginning of the month, I helped someone and was subsequently hunted. Fortunately, I realized something was wrong and escaped early. Otherwise, I would have met my end long ago."
"Who did you help, and what did you help with?"
"Here's what happened. At the end of last month, a gentleman dressed in silk came to me and asked if I'd like to make some extra money. I was worried he might be doing something illegal, so after asking him about it, he told me all I had to do was dress up as a woman at night and walk down an alley."
"I thought it was strange and didn't want to accept it. But the man was so generous, offering a hundred taels of silver. I was tempted and agreed. A few days later, after I got off the stage, he gave me a set of clothes and I dressed exactly as he instructed. Then he took me to an alley and asked me to walk through it."
"I easily earned a hundred taels of silver. After receiving the silver, the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was amiss. So I became cautious and went into hiding. I never expected that someone would come to kill me that very night. I was so frightened that I dared not go out again and had to hide from place to place."
"My leg was broken when I fell off a cliff while trying to escape being hunted."
