Chapter 25 - 24 Someone Else Started It First
Shi Nian still wore a sweet smile on her face: "Senior brother, make a vow."
Mu Nanqing frowned slightly and gently tapped Shi Nian's head: "Little Nian, mind your manners."
Shi Nian immediately showed a wronged expression: "Senior sister. Senior brother said time and again, it is for you that he would venture into the Myriad Magic Forbidden Land. That place is a matter of life and death. How deep must the feelings be to drive senior brother to do such a thing?"
Li Nanfeng's expression improved somewhat.
Was Shi Nian speaking on his behalf? Barely discerning enough.
Shi Nian continued: "From my understanding of senior brother, even when he hadn't done anything, tales of senior brother's deep and committed love for you were already circulating within the sect. Now, he really did such a significant thing for senior sister; could this not become widespread? When the time comes, wouldn't all the disciples of the sect be even more moved by senior brother's deep affection?"
Mu Nanqing's face changed slightly.
She suddenly realized.
This was Li Nanfeng's trump card.
If later, both she and Li Nanfeng returned safely, based solely on Li Nanfeng's life-risking affection for her, how would others speculate? How should she handle herself?
If she ignored Li Nanfeng, wouldn't she become ungrateful and treacherous!
