"Have you made any progress in getting you closer to the Jiang family?" The man's voice came from the door, frivolous and cold.
Her hand trembled as she treated the injury, and she quickly covered her fair calf. After tidying herself up, she slowly turned around.
"Master Shangguan, the Jiang family is too wary of strangers. It's not easy to approach them." The woman's voice was slightly hoarse. She was already injured, her face was extremely pale, and she was wearing a linen dress, which made her look even more pitiful. Even so, her eyes were still filled with stubbornness.
Shangguan Yi slowly walked up to the woman, raised his hand to pinch her chin, and gently stroked it with his fingers. He smiled wickedly, "If this matter were simple, I would have taken action long ago. Why wait until now?"

"If you don't know how to complete it, I will show you a way." There was a faint smile in his eyes. He gradually approached Bai Lan and leaned over to whisper a few words in her ear.
