"The time for the final confrontation has come. Have you made up your mind?" Nini'an asked.

"I have never thought about it," Lanling replied. "I cannot sever ties with my uncle."

Nini'an said, "Do you not realize that your stubbornness will not only doom yourself but also Dina and Suo Mo?"

Lanling sighed and said, "Then let us die together! Dying gloriously is far better than betraying each other and living a lifetime of guilt and pain."

Nini'an stared at Lanling in disbelief.

He actually said something like this: die together!

Lanling smiled and said, "These past days, I have already prepared myself. My uncle and Dina have also made their preparations. That's why when your father called them to the Chieftain's castle earlier, even knowing they were heading straight to their deaths, they remained utterly calm—for we are all ready."

In an instant, Nini'an felt as if she were going mad.
