"Lord Du, there's something I don't quite understand. Could you clarify for me?"
Seeing that the formal matters were concluded, Chen Ming asked Du Caiyue, "I seem to have never offended Lord Li, nor do I have any past grievances with him. I truly cannot comprehend why he wants me dead?"
Du Caiyue's gaze turned somewhat complex, and she slowly said, "Sometimes, at first glance, you can just really dislike someone, for no other reason. This person hasn't offended you, nor blocked your path, but you just want him dead."
"..."
Chen Ming asked, "Is it because of... Xiyan?"
Du Caiyue neither confirmed nor denied it. She took out a token from her bosom and tossed it over, saying, "If anyone from the Six Gates bothers you again, just show them this token."
"Alright."
Chen Ming put away the token.
"I must go now, I'll come find you tonight."
After speaking, Du Caiyue flickered and vanished completely.
