Inside the nineteenth floor of the Scripture Repository, Sikong Jing's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Of course my reputation is important, even if I'm only Ling Jianxing right now."
"Besides, someone is monitoring me behind your back this time. If you, Ling Yuyue, run out and say you've already conquered me, Ling Dongchuan will definitely sense something amiss and come questioning you at once."
