"Miss, do you really think everyone is a fool? What if someone takes it seriously? Then I'll be the one to take the blame."
"Okay, Xixi, please help me this once. Look, everyone's trying to win over Yunzhe today. I can't just leave without doing something in return."
Xi Xi gave him a pained look. "Fine, you're my lady, after all. But it's a deal, if that girl messes things up because she doesn't have magic, don't blame me."
Serena hugged Xixi tightly. "No, although Yunzhe needs to be won over, Xixi, you are the person I trust the most!"
Xi Xi hummed softly, indicating that she appreciated it.
Inside Sinder's room, however, the scene was quite different. Yun Zhe had stolen the show at the meeting, and afterwards everyone was trying to curry favor with him, which made Sinder and Newrent, who were present at the time, very uncomfortable.

"What are you still thinking about? What else is there to think about? Do you think you have any future here?" Sind couldn't help but feel angry, and his voice rose eight octaves.
Newton was stunned by Sind's appearance. He stood up abruptly, stared at Sind, and said with a slight tremor, "I'm not leaving. Go ahead and leave. Go with the Duke to rise to prominence. He wants to be the emperor, and you want to be the duke. Go ahead, I don't care! Anyway, I'll be Serena now, and sooner or later I'll be completely abandoned by you and your duke."
With that, Nyrent stormed out, leaving Sind staring in astonishment, speechless for a long time.
