"I..."
Zhou Yuan found himself at a loss for words, not knowing how to respond.
If Chu Ran had not been there, Han Mengqiu would surely have relented, but her sudden appearance had thrown his plans into disarray.
"Zhou Yuan, I'll say only this,"
"If we must fight to the bitter end, two of us will die, but I have more than one son!"
Han Mengqiu gritted her teeth and said, "My bottom line is taking the Ice Gu from you. As for Chu Ran, it's absolutely impossible!"
"You decide!"
"I'll give you ten minutes to make your decision. If I don't have an answer after ten minutes, I'll sink the boat with the broken pot!"
After leaving those cold words behind, Han Mengqiu turned and left the hall.
Wugu Daoren also left following her.
Gu He hesitated for a moment but ultimately chose to leave the living room as well.
When only the two of them were left in the main hall, Chu Ran felt a sourness in her nose and tears finally breached her defenses. She angrily said, "Why did you lie to me?"
