章節 282: 164. Win Over_2

Xu Yuan knew she hoped he would give her a way out, but he deliberately chose not to.

It wasn't because he still harbored resentment for past issues, what was more important was that he wanted to test whether the Ancient Goddess had taken part in the conspiracy against him.
