Lin Jia slowly stood up, her expression grave as she said, "I originally had no wish to get involved in this matter. I only decided to help out for Liu Ye'er's sake. However, your conduct has utterly disappointed me. The reason Liu Ye'er decided to establish an independent nation is precisely because the Wang Guifa incident, the Li Xuyang incident, and a series of other upheavals forced her to strengthen her defenses. If she did not found a country, I fear she would be devoured by people like you down to the very last scrap. Yet even now, you are still scheming against Liu Ye'er behind her back. I truly feel it was not worth it for her. You can carry on playing these backstabbing games amongst yourselves; I am done keeping you company."
Hearing this, Head of State Gu hurried forward a step and said sincerely, "Xiao Lin, let me apologize to you on their behalf. I am sorry. I earnestly ask you to stay, won't you?"
Lin Jia gently shook her head and replied calmly, "Everyone present here is an expert at scheming, and I find it truly unbearable. I can tell you this much: I am willing to help you three times. If you encounter any major, unsolvable problems, you may come find me. Chancellor Li has my contact information. Farewell." With that, she turned and left without a shred of lingering attachment.
