Ye Lan found it difficult to describe her current mood with words.
Initially, she only brought Shen Yi back because he had joined the Demon Slayer Bureau in Jianyang Prefecture, and while he was efficient, he also had a knack for getting into trouble.
Hence, she developed a feeling of cherishing talent, which led to their expedition to Shenxu Mountain.
The two of them didn't interact much beyond their superior-subordinate relationship; they were barely acquaintances, not even friends, and there certainly was no intention of using each other for anything.
After all, even when Shen Yi was at He Mountain, and said "I owe you a favor" seriously, Ye Lan never took it to heart.
But this very person, in just a few short days, completely opened her eyes.
Liu Ruifeng's composure was clearly forced, but Shen Yi's nonchalance stemmed from his unfathomable abilities and thoughts.
