Shen Qingqiu said, "That's not the problem."
Luo Binghe wouldn't let it go. "Then what is the problem?"

Luo Binge slowly retreated, smiling faintly. "Fine."
He said softly, "... either way there's plenty of time to talk about it later."
Everyone present could sense countless numbers of creatures stirring, hidden beneath the surface of the dark thicket of branches, waist-high brush, and piles of deathly pale stone all around. Lustrous green eyes and whispering pants rose and fell like tiny waves.
