While those outside waited to see if Song Nianchu and her group would fall victim to poisoning, Fan Jian happened to cross paths with Shangguan Lian’s team.
Shangguan Lian had always been one to maintain a carefully crafted public image. She was particularly fond of projecting the persona of a kind-hearted and benevolent person. The Fan Family was also a top-tier clan, and had their paths not crossed, it would have been one thing, or perhaps if Fan Jian had been a rival. But now, Fan Jian was all by himself. That tiny spark of "saintly" compassion in Shangguan Lian’s heart flared up.
"Fan Jian, did you run into some formidable trap?" Shangguan Lian asked, offering gentle comfort. "It’s fortunate you are unharmed, but being alone in the Trial Grounds from here on out, you really should be more careful."
