At the entrance of East Victory, Bian Weiyin was left behind, and at the entrance of Beiju, Situ Zhen was left behind. The reason is not hard to guess; the two women were bound to play a role and were forced to come to look for Shi Chun to gather information. Shi Chun understood their dilemma, but he did not need their understanding; he simply would not speak, no matter what pressure they were under.
They could reminisce, they could flirt, but on matters already planned for a long time, he would absolutely not relent, no matter what pressure they were under, no matter who came.
Because he had no way to back down; to retreat would be to render years of effort worthless. This wasn't just his own effort, and it would lead to further retreats, and he might end up being forced into the Netherworld, which would be a minor consequence.
But in other aspects, it was easy to handle, such as Wei Mo asking Bian Weiyin to borrow some wood materials.
