Looking at the woman before him—who was clearly not Youyou—Lin Fei felt a mix of suspicion, caution, and a strange sense of relief.
Truth be told, when he had helped her purge the poison earlier, he had intended to remove every trace of it from her body, but found it impossible. The poison was bizarrely potent; Lin Fei felt that to eradicate it completely, he would have to employ the Yin-Yang Sacred Art. However, just as he was about to do so, the woman had suddenly revealed her true form, and Lin Fei had immediately slammed on the brakes. Consequently, there were still traces of the toxin lingering in the blood of this woman, who called herself Jian Yao.
Lin Fei felt relieved because, had he initiated the Yin-Yang Sacred Art, the two would very likely have achieved a fusion of souls. In that state, they would have been unable to help but fall deeply in love. Falling in love with a complete stranger was, at the very least, not a pleasant prospect. Furthermore, Lin Fei knew nothing of this person's background, nor could he confirm if she were truly Youyou’s friend.
