Now, it was time for her to repay his kindness.
"Quickly," Jason said in a low voice, his tone no longer hesitant, "follow the roe deer boss just now."
The driver cracked the reins. The carriage rolled into Blue-Wave City, picking up speed as it chased after Ethan's fading figure.
Jason leaned back, his gaze landing on the slender girl standing quietly beside him.
"Laura," he said slowly, "you're talented in cultivation. Staying with me… there's no future."
He paused, choosing his words carefully.
"I've decided to find you a good family."
"…."
Laura fell silent.
She understood exactly what he meant.
Dedication.
To hand her over to the terrifying roe deer just now, in exchange for safety, goodwill, and perhaps survival.
Yet she did not resist.
Instead, she lowered her eyes slightly and smiled.
"It's all according to the master's instructions."
Jason's fingers tightened slightly.
