Love Debts & Resuming the Battle

Nangong Lingxin opened her mouth wanting to say something else but in the end did not know what to say. She couldn't help but smile bitterly as at this point the young girl wasn't even trying to be sly or hide her feelings. Even if Meng Qi and Bai Zemin did not share the slightest of blood ties, the two of them grew up together as siblings as far as she knew.... Therefore, while Nangong Lingxin did not blame Meng Qi at all nor did she feel the slightest bit of disdain towards her or her feelings, she still felt that the path Meng Qi was taking would not only be riddled with difficulties but could also lead her absolutely nowhere happy.

"It's okay if she doesn't want to leave." 

A beautiful and mature voice brought Nangong Lingxin out of her inner world. She raised her head toward the source of the voice and there she saw the small, delicate back of Shangguan Xinyue standing atop a bell tower, her dress waving gently in tandem with her hair of the same color.
