More than a month later, Ye Qingxue returned and reported what she had learned to Jiang Ping'an.
After listening, Jiang Ping'an pondered seriously for a while, then looked up and praised Ye Qingxue. "Well done. What reward do you want?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxue's cold, breathtakingly beautiful face immediately came alive, and her snow-clear eyes turned seductive.
"This concubine wishes to stay by your side for one day," Ye Qingxue said expectantly.
Jiang Ping'an refused without hesitation. "My time is precious. Your request is too much."
As he spoke, he took out a God Source Crystal the size of a thumbnail and sent it floating before Ye Qingxue with his Spiritual Sense.
"This is a God Source Crystal. Take it," he said.
Though the task Ye Qingxue had handled was not difficult, the information she had brought back was highly valuable to him, worth a small piece of God Source Crystal.
"Thank you, my lord," Ye Qingxue said regretfully as she accepted the God Source Crystal.
Jiang Ping'an said, "You may leave."
Ye Qingxue looked at Jiang Ping'an reluctantly once more, then took her leave.
I have done so much for him. I spent so long wasting away in Ping'an City for him. At a single word from him, I run back and forth, afraid of being too slow. Yet he will not even let me remain at his side for one day.
By all reason, I should be angry. I should resent him.
But I do not want to resent him.
One glance from him makes me happy. When he has need of me, I am delighted.
Even though I clearly know he does not wish to have anything to do with me.
As Ye Qingxue walked out of the imperial palace, she pondered silently to herself.
