The next day.
Ten kilometers outside Demon Eye Base City, Black Zinc Forest.
Lin Yan cautiously followed behind Qin Shou, occasionally glancing around the silent black forest, her face growing increasingly vigilant.
"My lord, why have you brought me here? What do you intend to do?"
Lin Yan stopped walking, refusing to take another step forward.
Qin Shou turned around and couldn't help but smirk. If I had ulterior motives, wouldn't realizing it now be too late?
"I'm bringing you to see someone."
"Who?"
"Bai Yan." Qin Shou's face remained expressionless.
Lin Yan's expression lit up: "What? Bai... he has returned?"
Her face then darkened, and she stared intensely at Qin Shou.
"You want to use me as bait to capture Bai Yan?"
Qin Shou revealed a faint smile but didn't reply.
Lin Yan turned her head away, her expression returning to normal.
"My lord, you must be mistaken. He is merely a server at the shop..."
