Luo Yue had originally intended to force a meeting between Lixi and Lu Meng, regardless of how much Lixi might resist. She had decided that if anything happened, they wouldn't intervene for either side. In their eyes, Lu Meng was somewhat of a trained fighter, so it wouldn't be surprising if they couldn't beat her.
Luo Yue had also wanted to gauge exactly how much weight Lixi carried in Shen Mo's heart, but after seeing the current situation, she realized there was no need to test it further. If a conflict broke out with Lu Meng, they would simply side with Lu Meng. Having finally managed to get on Shen Mo's good side, they naturally wanted to stay as close to him as possible. Take Ling Bing, for example—her family had once held influence in the Eastern District, but after their status declined, they would have been forced to move out of Kyoto long ago if not for Shen Mo.
Lost in thought, Luo Yue glanced at Xie Xue, who remained oblivious beside her. Pushing all other concerns aside, she spoke directly, "We’ll still have Lixi and Lu Meng meet later, but we are only supporting Lu Meng. Ideally, it would be best if we could finish Lixi off today."
