Su Qingjie spoke with absolute resolve, her tone leaving no room for doubt:
"Since your Tower Spirit is so eager, and you seem unable to restrain it, then our discussion ends here. Keep the Immortal Burial Tablet. Consider those eighteen Golden Dragon Fish a gift from Jieyun Immortal Mansion—whether to forge a friendly bond or simply buy some peace and quiet.
"As for jointly exploring the Immortal Method Secret Realm, that is off!"
Su Qingjie was furious. As soon as she finished speaking, she turned to leave.
"Wait!"
The Little Black Tower hurriedly called out to Su Qingjie. Shedding its earlier teasing attitude, it said solemnly, "Your Excellency truly is a person of strong character. I offended you greatly earlier. I hereby offer you my sincere apologies!"
Hearing the Little Black Tower's words, Su Qingjie stopped. Her tone softened somewhat as she looked at Qin Guan. "Please show women respect from now on!"
Qin Guan's mouth twitched. After all that, he was the one taking the blame. "I agree to our earlier partnership. I'll go with you to explore that Immortal Method Secret Realm."
"Don't say 'explore the Secret Realm' again. It makes my skin crawl!" Su Qingjie glared fiercely at Qin Guan. "Come on. Follow me to Jieyun Immortal Mansion."
After speaking, Su Qingjie strode toward the crowd in the distance.
The Little Black Tower said, "There are two ways to tame a wild horse. One is to whip it hard and force it into submission; the other is to coax it slowly with carrots, until it willingly lets you climb onto its back."
I have to find a way to overcome this Color Tower's Great Dao Power, or it'll keep controlling me.
As Qin Guan walked toward the crowd, he silently weighed something in his mind.
