In the end, not only had her relationship with Brother Pei not come to fruition, but she lived in constant fear, terrified her lies would be exposed.

Nangong Jin now realized how laughable it had all been—all those years she had spent acting so aloof and righteous, looking down on that fake fairy, Ye Liyuan, with utter contempt.

"Brother Pei, I know you must have many questions right now. Let me go bring Yueqiu back first, and then I will return and explain everything, okay?"
"I'll go with you! Yueqiu is my disciple. I can't let her remain in danger."
Pei Yuhang instinctively rose to his feet, but Nangong Jin gently pushed him back down.
