Noticing that the other party was not easy to fool, a faint trace of disappointment flashed through Jiang Yuechu's eyes.
But she did not develop any other feelings because of it.
She glanced once more at the auspicious cloud beneath her feet, where purple qi swirled and flowed, then closed her eyes and sank her thoughts slightly.

"Ah?"
Not too fast?
Zi Ling stood frozen atop the cloud, staring at her with a face full of confusion.
They were going to save someone. Delay bred change—what sense was there in thinking their escape speed was too fast?
A dark suspicion could not help but arise in her heart. She even wondered whether Fellow Daoist Jiang might actually be hoping that little monk would die outside...
