Chapter 55: Chapter 45: You're Too Slow_1

As the setting sun gave way to twilight, weary birds returned to their nests.

In the newly erected tent, Xu Mu, Lan Shijin, and Leng Yuening sat, facing one another.

"When did he talk to you about it?" Xu Mu asked.

"Just when we were setting up the camp, he came and spoke to me privately. He told me to consider it for a few days and give him an answer before we delve deeper into the forest. If I agreed, he promised to give a dowry of one thousand Lower-grade Spirit Stones and escort us to Liyang Sect!" Lan Shijin gritted her teeth as she spoke.

Xu Mu had never seen Lan Shijin this angry before.

Leng Yuening, sitting by their side, appeared somewhat pale.

A rare look of panic flashed across her face.

"Friend Lan doesn't want to agree?"

Xu Mu frowned.

He wasn't surprised that Xiao Yi had such intentions.

There had been signs from the beginning.

"Of course, I won't agree!" Lan Shijin said coldly.

"Why?" Xu Mu questioned, clearly baffled.
