Jiang Liyan lay on the ground, emitting sobs, unable to stop the tears from flowing down, yet her eyes stealthily glanced at Wei Dongliu.
Then, she saw an extremely complex expression on Wei Dongliu's face.
It was a look that was half smile, half grimace, with a sense of irony.
Jiang the Witch's heart skipped a beat, and a profound crisis suddenly surged within her.
With the inspiration that followed, she immediately scrambled up from the ground and hid behind Wei Dongliu, calling out anxiously,
"Be careful! That's my senior apprentice sister, Ai Zhenzhi, a master of the Refining Mansion tier!"
