62 Quid pro quo

"There's a saying that I've always loved, it goes something like this, 'Fate gives us enough for our needs, not for our greed.'"

Snorting coldly Bai Xiu said, "Why act so mysterious now? Just get to the point."

"Sure."

While Yailing still maintained the same harmless smile on her face, on the inside however she was cursing and increasing her determination to torture her.

"Fate only gives us enough for our need. If we want any more than that, we'll have to take it by ourselves."

Looking towards the silently listening Bai Zhen, Yailing moved closer and sat on the chair across to him.

"And right now, with the King dying, your fate won't even give you enough to satisfy your needs."

"I already know that."

"Good. That makes things a lot easier."
