After kicking Meirong out of her own tent, and further ordering her to not go too far away from him Bai Long looked up towards Linxin who had an indescribable expression on her face.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean... Is any of this worth it? I only ever wanted a happy life for you, and I couldn't be any happier than I am right now. So why continue going forward? Can't we just leave and spend our life together in peace?"

Smiling profoundly Bai Long said, "If we don't move forward, we're just moving backwards."
