Shangguan Li was somewhat speechless. Unifying the continent was purely Bibi Dong's personal ambition, and Qian Daoliu had no desire whatsoever to conquer the realm.
"I won't say any more about the internal affairs of your Spirit Hall."
Qian Renxue cast an approving glance at Shangguan Li, and Little Pear said, "Sister, let's leave this place quickly. I have a bad feeling about all this."

"Sister, I want to come out with you too."
Naturally, Little Pear could not stand by and watch Shangguan Li court danger alone, yet he had no way to halt Shangguan Li's advancing steps, leaving him with no choice but to accompany him.

"I understand.
