"Fine, then let’s keep going. I guarantee you a grand gift," Yanzhu said in a clear, resonant voice.

You looked exactly like someone who had just performed a soul-snatch. That Gao fellow actually has a bit of sense." After all, not everyone would just follow along blindly. If Yaojiu weren't tucked away in the Consciousness Sea, even he would have been suspicious—the Yanzhu of that moment had truly seemed like a stranger.
