Xiwang Sun said, "All these years, I have only asked you to do one thing, so I hope your answer won't disappoint me."
Xiao He of Ying City felt a bit nervous, saying, "It seems that Jing Jiu hadn't told him about me; that's why he hasn't recognized me."
She felt a faint pain in her shoulder when mentioning that name, as if that iron sword were still inside her shoulder.
Xiwang Sun said, "Very good. I hope that you won't be discovered by him regarding your relationship with Jing Jiu when you are together."
"Please rest assured. I'm certain that he hasn't discovered anything," said Xiao He of Ying City.
"What about you? Have you discovered anything?" asked Xiwang Sun.
Xiao He of Ying City replied, "I haven't seen him contact anybody or that sword."
Xiwang Sun remained silent for a moment before saying, "Don't be too concerned about it; be casual. Don't let him suspect you."
