"I don't know the situation on your side, and since you didn't reach out to me, I pretended I couldn't contact you and just stalled with them."
Ning Hesheng explained carefully, "At first they might not believe it, probing me indirectly, but I didn't respond. Eventually, they might have discovered my attitude and realized I wasn't planning to let them meet up with you, so they suddenly made a move on me."
"They obviously discussed it in secret, the two of them teamed up against me. Dugu Feng wants the Fire Qilin, and Nangong Li wants me. They acted so suddenly that although I was wary, both of them are very strong. I couldn't withstand it alone and got injured, finally managing to temporarily escape them with great difficulty."
"After I temporarily escaped them, just as I was about to contact you, you contacted me, so I dashed some distance away, widening the gap between us. This time contacting you..."
"Temporarily?"
