John's face was grim. He did not expect Lan Yue to have such a strong character, preferring death over being with him.
Although Lan Huan used her, he still had a sibling-like affection for her.
He married Lan Yue to him only for both sides to have leverage, but his premise was that he didn't mind suffering as long as Lan Yue lived well.
If Lan Yue really died, even if Lan Huan continued the cooperation due to pressure from their Family, it might not be sincere. Clearly understanding Dragon Abyss's situation, the only one willing to cooperate with them was Lan Huan.
If Lan Yue's situation made Lan Huan have any second thoughts, it would be a loss for them.
After the incident at the Loulan ancient tomb last time, the conflict between them and the Xiao Family had become irreconcilable. Even if they stopped, the Xiao Family would not.
Without information from Lan Huan, they would have no advantage in their struggle against Dragon Abyss.
