Yu Sui didn't need Li Jinshuang to make a choice right now.
All she needed was to make Li Jinshuang waver. Given the way Xun Zhiya and Shu Chujun did things, it was only a matter of time before Li Jinshuang grew rebellious.
The Nanjing Country Lord wanted the Futuo Tower Fragments. If Xun Zhiya brought them back, she could prove her ability and win the Lord's favor.
If Li Jinshuang brought them back, the Li family would also regain its standing. Power in her own hands was far more reliable than making wedding clothes for someone else and trusting their empty promises.
By then, Xun Zhiya would be the one who needed her, not the other way around.
Li Jinshuang hadn't told Yu Sui why the Li family had been targeted, but Yu Sui had asked Old Man Yan about it earlier. She'd only asked in passing, and hadn't expected him to tell her the truth.
Yu Sui, like Xun Zhiya, had her eye on Li Jinshuang's Sword Spirit ability, but she wouldn't treat Li Jinshuang the way Xun Zhiya did.
After all, Yu Sui only wanted the Tianzi Text inside the Futuo Tower Fragments. She had no interest in the tower itself, so their interests didn't conflict.
Li Jinshuang capped the salve and set it back on the desk. As she withdrew her hand, she asked, "What are you planning to do?"
"I won't stir up trouble right now, either. I'll do my best to help get the Futuo Tower Fragments out of Hanging Moon Cave." Yu Sui spread her hands. "I just want the fragments in my hands."
Li Jinshuang lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment. "I'll think about it."
"Sure." Yu Sui smiled warmly. "Could you not take too long to think about it?
