Inside the Mountain God Temple, Guo Laojiang and his men waited with earnest anticipation, but outside, Song Ciwan remained stubbornly unmoved.
No matter how Guo Laojiang tried to persuade her, she flatly refused to enter the Mountain God Temple.
At his wits' end, Guo Laojiang could only shake his head and sigh. "Young lady, you're far too guarded. You must understand, sometimes you just have to trust people. If you don't listen to your elders, you'll live to regret it... Ah..."
He sighed again, then gestured for his men to sit huddled together near the Mountain God Statue, leaving the space by the entrance for Song Ciwan.
He even added, "Miss, it's only natural for you to be wary of us. We understand. In any case, we've saved this spot for you. If it gets too rough out there, feel free to come into the Mountain God Temple whenever you like."
