"Of course they want something from us. Didn't you see the looks on those disciples' faces when we arrived? Every one of them looked weighed down with worry, as if their father had died. They must have run into some difficulty and want our help," Li Xiaoya said with a smile. As he spoke, he tapped his fingers repeatedly, setting up a soundproof restriction to keep anyone from eavesdropping.
"Right, right! Even City Lord Du was bending over backward to please us. This must be something big," Dong Santong hurriedly agreed. He paused, then quickly asked, "So are we really going to help them?"
"That depends on the situation, naturally," Li Xiaoya said with a knowing chuckle.
"Hahaha! Great minds think alike!" Dong Santong laughed. These two had initially found each other irritating, but the more time they spent together, the more they discovered they were birds of a feather, developing a mutual appreciation.
"All right. Since we're already here, we might as well treat this as training. When the time comes, we'll naturally be able to go back." After everything he had been through, Li Xiaoya had learned to take things more in stride.

"Haha! It's not like I'm into women like you, with women throwing themselves at me!" Dong Santong
