The woman raised a hand and pressed it onto the man in black's shoulder. "Stand down."
"Second Miss?"
"You can't win. We have nowhere left to run," the woman said faintly.
"How will we know if we don't try?"
The woman shook her head and looked at Ye Qianning. "Miss Xiang, why don't we make a deal?"
"I don't need to," Ye Qianning said coldly.
"Not even if it means having the Xi Yan Imperial Family owe you a favor?"
Ye Qianning knew the woman's identity was anything but simple, but she hadn't expected her to be from the Xi Yan Imperial Family. Having them owe her a favor would certainly be beneficial in the future.
However, such favors were not given lightly.
Seeing her silence, the woman pressed on. "If you help me, and your General's manor is ever in trouble, as long as it doesn't involve an invasion of Xi Yan, my country will surely come to your aid, no matter how great the distance."
Zhan Chi's brow furrowed. "You're from Xi Yan?"
"That's right."
