"Forgive me, my lord. I lost my composure."
Xuan Yi soon composed herself.
After all these years, she had already prepared herself to accept this fact.
She had even thought she would never hear any news of Yao Chen in this lifetime. Now that she had learned of his death, she could finally let go of her lingering obsession.
"I hope you can avenge Yao Chen, my lord. As long as you can help me hold on, I am willing to serve at your side for the rest of my life, to do whatever you command." Xuan Yi knelt before Xu Ran, her eyes filled with resolve.
She knew Xiao Yan had already joined the Soul Clan. Without Xu Ran's power, avenging Yao Chen would be utterly impossible.
"Are you sure?"
Xu Ran regarded the beautiful woman before him with a half-smile.
"I am."
Xuan Yi's face flushed.
She had two obsessions in her life: Yao Chen and the art of alchemy.
Now that Yao Chen was dead, her obsession with him had naturally faded as well. As long as she avenged him, she would have brought the love of the first half of her life to a close. For the rest of her life, she wanted only to advance further in alchemy, reach its summit, and behold the wonders at its very peak.
And Xu Ran was the only one who could help her accomplish that.
As long as she could win Xu Ran's favor, she would definitely have a chance to see the view from the very summit.
"Is that so?" Xu Ran suddenly felt rather bored.
Was her love for Yao Chen so deep that, after hearing of his death, all she had left was a heart bent on personal gain?
