"I know why you're here," Lie Peiqi said as he poured the tea. "While I appreciate you trying, you're actually wasting your time."
"Hong'er doesn't want to stop you from returning home — she just wants to help you in any way she can," Wang Wei said as he sipped his tea.
"I know full well that if I ask, she will go to the end of the world to help me, but that's exactly why I don't want her involved," Lie Peiqi added. "In all my life, I've never met someone with such raw talent — well, maybe except for you. Hong'er 's path will be unlike anything the world has seen, and the last thing I want is for my own cause and effect to affect her."
"Isn't it too late for that?" Wang Wei asked. "If something happens to you, she'll never forgive herself, and your cause and effect will still affect her."
