Shen Xiu sat in Nie Li's dorm, her figure silhouetted against the window as she dried her hair with a towel, her eyes occasionally darting outside.

Despite the calm of the room, her mind was far from peaceful, always alert to the possibility of prying eyes from the Snow Wind Family.

"The Snow Wind Family has one of the largest spy networks in Glory City. Who knows if they've really backed off?" she thought. Yet, deep down, she knew that even if they were still watching, their hands were tied for the moment.

The reason behind her agreement to Nie Li's audacious plan was clear in her mind. She understood that the elder was likely onto Nie Li's talents as an array maker.

If the Snow Wind Family believed Nie Li and she were in a relationship, it might deter them from taking drastic actions.

As much as it pained her to admit, the Snow Wind Family had its codes of honor, unlike... Shen Xiu's thoughts trailed off as she hesitated to complete the thought, acknowledging the darker actions of her own Sacred Family.

Just then, Nie Li burst into the room, carrying the Book of Fire and Snow, along with a pile of array scrolls and ink bottles.

"Okay, I got everything we need. Let's start with the new array," he announced, laying out the materials on the floor.

"I think firstly, we can break down both the original and the plagiarized version to see which components both scribes used in creating their respective circuits. Then, we can use that as a foundation to start making our own," Nie Li suggested, full of enthusiasm for the task ahead.

Shen Xiu, however, seemed distant, her voice carrying a hint of reluctance.

"Can't you do it on your own?" she asked, her tone betraying a touch of hesitance.

Nie Li paused, looking up at her.

To anyone else, Shen Xiu's behavior might seem like the typical laziness or arrogance expected of a noble.

But Nie Li saw through the facade.

He knew her better than that.

He had read her description.

"She doesn't want to mess this up. Even if she's proud of her skills as a scribe, her family's honor comes first. That's why she's leaving the heavy lifting to me, the better scribe," Nie Li thought.

[ Select from the Following ]

[ Option 1- I can't do this without you. ]

[ Option 2- Shen Xiu, is that really what you want? ]

As Nie Li considered the options before him, he understood their origin from the mission "Betrayal and Love."

Both options seemed promising, offering Shen Xiu some form of inspiration. However, Option 1 caught his attention more due to its romantic inclination.

Thus, he chose Option 1.

"I can't do this without you," Nie Li said, his voice carrying a sincerity that took Shen Xiu by surprise.

"But—" Shen Xiu started, only to be cut off as time itself had stopped in that moment.
