When he found out about her identity

"Alchemist Grandmaster Ling, the Jing clan is right in front. I would like to invite you to stay there for a few days. I can also do my best to be a good host." Jing Ziyu said to Ling Chuxi only after everyone was done laughing.

"I still have matters to attend to. I'll go if I have the chance in the future. You can go back first." Ling Chuxi did not want to waste any more time and rejected Jing Ziyu's invitation.

Actually, as a follower, Jing Ziyu should have followed Ling Chuxi around, but his situation was different from Meng Zheng 's. The latter had been stripped of his right to be the family's successor, while Jing Ziyu was a popular candidate for the next family head of the Jing family. Naturally, he could not always be by her side. Moreover, Ling Chuxi also hoped to get some help from the Jing family and did not want him to give up his position as the head of the Jing family.
