"Ying'er, you..."
Lu Yunxiao opened his mouth, somewhat hesitant, his expression conflicted as well.
Seeing Cao Ying's disappointment and sorrow, he felt a little distressed.
But when it came time to speak, he had his reservations.
He had never denied that he had once felt something for Cao Ying, but the problem was that those feelings had never reached the point where he could not live without her.
Coupled with the constraints of his oath, even if he wanted to take a step forward, he found it hard to make up his mind.
Sometimes, he even despised himself for being this way.
But words once spoken could not simply be disregarded.
"What do you want to say?"
Cao Ying looked up at him. Her charming eyes held a trace of gloom, along with faint anticipation.
Lu Yunxiao looked at her, then suddenly seemed to think of something and smiled freely.
His handsome face was rarely seen in this world, and his bright, gentle smile was like a pair of invisible hands plucking at Cao Ying's heartstrings.
Sure enough, she still could not forget this man.
Everything about him fascinated her and filled her with affection.
"Ying'er, are you willing to join Cloud Gate Pill Hall?"
"I'll make you the Hall Master."
Lu Yunxiao said with a smile.
He extended an invitation to Cao Ying once again.
This was the second time he had invited her.
Lu Yunxiao rarely took the initiative, much less invited the same person twice.
Cao Ying was the first, and the only one, to receive such treatment.
"Senior Yao Chen is a Ninth-Grade Profound Pill Grandmaster. How could a mere eighth-grade alchemist like me take the position of Hall Master from him? Yunxiao, don't joke around."
Cao Ying was stunned for a moment, then smiled sweetly.
