Lu Sangjiu looked at Ye Zhiyao's expectant gaze and smiled faintly.
How "considerate" of her. A single sentence that seemed like a concession was no different from roasting Lu Sangjiu over a fire.
If she refused, others would find her outrageously ungrateful. After all, Ye Zhiyao was being so reasonable and had already conceded so much for the sake of their fellowship.
But if Lu Sangjiu agreed, the question of who would have to give up two Cold Ice Crystal Stones would become another problem.
Taking two stones from three people was inherently unfair. And since Lu Sangjiu would be the one to agree to it, the other two would easily grow to resent her.
Unless Lu Sangjiu gave up two of her own stones. That would earn her a good reputation, but losing two Cold Ice Crystal Stones would be a devastating loss.
You could say that from the moment Ye Zhiyao proposed this plan, any choice Lu Sangjiu made would be the wrong one.
