After dinner, Lin Chen also tried to probe Bai Ling, but in the end, he realized he was overthinking.
Bai Ling was still the same as before, seemingly unchanged.
"Looks like I was overthinking." While pondering, Lin Chen noticed a flash of sorrow in Bai Ling's eyes.
Recalling the events of the afternoon, Lin Feng asked, "Is something bothering you?"
Bai Ling's pupils dilated.
"You don't want to return to the Spirit Academy?"
"No." Bai Ling shook her head and said, "I just feel uneasy hearing about the Celestial Capital being besieged by demon beasts."
Lin Chen paused.
Bai Ling, at heart, was kind, and her sadness was understandable.
But compared to before, there was indeed some change.
At this moment, Lin Chen thought of Zhong Nan, wondering if Bai Ling, after spending two years with him, had been influenced by him.
"Staying here won't help much." Lin Chen said, "You might even become a burden."
