Ao Ruonan stared at Ye Ning, a faint smile on her lips. "It’s not that you have no interest in me; you simply don't want to become too entangled with the Outer Realm. If you do, you'll have too many ties when the time comes to wield the Butcher's Blade against it, and your ultimate goal is to destroy the Outer Realm."
Ye Ning was slightly taken aback. Ao Ruonan had guessed his thoughts perfectly. It would be a lie to say he had no interest in her; he was a man who appreciated beauty. But Ye Ning had his own considerations. Just as Ao Ruonan suggested, he didn’t want too many emotional debts when he eventually took up the Butcher's Blade. If he were to take in too many women from the Outer Realm, he would undoubtedly have too many hesitations when the day of reckoning arrived. That was not what he wanted.
"You're very clever, which is why there can never be anything between us. You should just give up," Ye Ning sighed.
