After getting out of the forest, Ashen looked at Fanrong from the corner of his left eye, asking politely: "Lady Fanrong, should we part our ways here? We are out of the forest now, and I believe you can travel back to your tribe on your own, right?"
Throughout their journey, Fanrong and Zhu Loyan had kept quiet.
Fanrong had been busy pondering over how to ask Ashen to join her side and support her despite not having anything to offer in return.
She couldn't just rush things since this could be the very moment that would decide her future.
Gaining a powerful ally such as Ashen was not something to be taken lightly, and hence, she had to be careful not to offend him.
Ashen could very well be offended by misunderstanding her as asking him to become her subordinate. That was the last thing she would want.
It was only after she heard Ashen's voice did she realize that they had already come out of the forest and she could no longer hesitate.
