In the courtyard, only Shen Bai and Liu Wufeng remained.
After Liu Wufeng spoke, the courtyard fell silent—so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Shen Bai narrowed his eyes and rubbed Amber's head, eliciting a series of meows from the cat. "Lord Liu," he said, "I'm not interested."
At these words, Liu Wufeng, who had already prepared what he was going to say, furrowed his brow.
Anyone else would have likely played along, but Liu Wufeng hadn't expected Shen Bai to declare his lack of interest outright.
Shen Bai looked up and continued, "I've joined the Observatory to do my part. I have never been one to shirk my responsibilities. I will always complete my assigned duties—that's my principle. As for anything beyond that, I don't get involved."
For Shen Bai, joining the Observatory wasn't just about acquiring Deceitful Objects and Evil Qi.
Now that he was in this position, Shen Bai had no intention of slacking off. He would do what was required of him.
