Chapter 1693 - 1694: On the Verge of Eruption
Even though Su Chengyu had mentally prepared himself long before coming, the moment he heard the identity of the other party, his steps faltered by half a beat.
However, he quickly regained his composure, continuing his steady pace without letting Luo Lin notice anything amiss.
Following behind the woman, he recalled her hesitation earlier and finally understood why she had been unable to make up her mind at the critical moment.
What he was about to do might involve overthrowing the person closest to her.
"Even so, you’re still willing to help me."
"Not help you, but help the Luo Clan."
Luo Lin spoke calmly, taking a deep breath. As they reached the Great Formation, she began escorting Su Chengyu inside while continuing to speak.
"Do you really think no one in our clan realizes we’re draining the pond to catch the fish? Because of this matter, my great-grandfather, my grandfather, and even my father have argued repeatedly in the Elder Council, sometimes even coming to blows. But in the end, we still didn’t turn back."
"Why?"
"Because we can’t turn back. The Luo Clan has long reached a point of no return. To stop now would be to negate all the effort we’ve put in. By then, the reckoning wouldn’t fall on just one person—it could implicate the entire Luo Clan... "
Luo Lin fell silent, unable to continue. After all, among those people were many with whom she shared close bonds. Although she had made her decision, she couldn’t bring herself to utter such words.
