Coaxing 2

"Didn't I already mention this earlier?" Zhongyu Jiarui's tone carried a hint of coaxing. "I am the third daughter of the Zhongyu family's direct line. Our Zhongyu family is renowned in the Hidden World, and ordinary people would never dare to offend us. So, if you choose to align yourself with us, your safety will be well assured. Once you're outside, just claim to be from the Zhongyu family, and those people won't dare to bother you."

"But even if I join, there's no guarantee that your Zhongyu family will accept me!" Ye Leng'an seemed troubled on her face. "Moreover, we just had an unpleasant encounter. Are you really so kind as to help me?"

On the side, Nangong Xuyao was unaware of Zhongyu Jiarui's true intentions. He didn't believe that she was genuinely concerned for someone with whom she had just clashed. Clearly, Zhongyu Jiarui had ulterior motives.
