Shangguan Xiyao hurried forward, grabbed Ye Qingtao by the sleeve, and said with great excitement, "You're finally back!"
Ye Qingtao gave a faint smile and replied, "Back or not, what does it matter? You're just going to ask me to help rebuild the Holy Land again, aren't you? Let me be blunt and say it right now: absolutely not. Unless I'm in a good mood—but the moment I remember what you people did before, my mood plummets. So we can forget about this for now. That's that, I have things to do, goodbye."
Shangguan Xiyao wanted to say something, but seeing how unyielding he was, she opened her mouth only to swallow her words back down. What she actually wanted to talk about wasn't that at all, but something else entirely—her feelings over this past period and how much she had missed him. However, since he spoke with such cold indifference, she would just have to slowly and gently soften his heart. No, not soften it, but warm it.
