"What kind of explanation are you looking for?" Luo Fan asked in return after hearing Lin Wanqing's words.
"The Seven Cities Territory belongs to Xiaodie. Don't you think you owe me an explanation for that?" Lin Wanqing had not expected Luo Fan to turn the question back on her. She frowned as she questioned him.
"I had no choice..."
Hearing Lin Wanqing's words, Luo Fan spread his hands helplessly and said, "To secure Heilongjiang Province as a human settlement, we needed a Weird with enough standing to protect the area."
"So cooperating with the Weird Bride was the only option."
"Besides, the Weird Bride and I haven't openly fallen out yet. You wouldn't want me to fall out with her completely, would you?"
Lin Wanqing fell silent at Luo Fan's explanation.
Although she did not want to admit it, she had to acknowledge that Luo Fan had a point.
What could she do when her status, standing, and strength were all somewhat inferior to Xiaodie's?
Otherwise, Luo Fan would not have needed to make Xiaodie the Weird publicly presiding over Heilongjiang Province. She could have done it herself.
Moreover, the fact that Luo Fan had not completely fallen out with Xiaodie was indeed good news for her.
Lin Wanqing had not forgotten her earlier agreement with Luo Fan.
Luo Fan would remain by Xiaodie's side as before, with the aim of helping her steal the Innate Yin Jade in Xiaodie's possession.
Although Xiaodie had now advanced to an Indescribable Sanction Level Weird, making it even harder for Luo Fan to steal the Innate Yin Jade from her.
Without Luo Fan, however, her chances of obtaining the Innate Yin Jade were zero.
With Luo Fan, there was at least a tiny sliver of hope.
At least she had something to hope
