Elder Zhou was unwilling to accept that he couldn't establish a deep cooperation with Canglan's Guild, so he stayed at the main guild with Ming Jiajing, hoping to find an opportunity.

"Elder Zhou, this time the sect only sent us to observe. Discussing deep cooperation now is indeed a bit rash. You should return to the sect and discuss it further," Ming Jiajing said, pouring a cup of wine for Elder Zhou seated opposite her.

Elder Zhou downed the wine and looked at Ming Jiajing coldly.

"Ming Jiajing, watch your position. You're siding with Canglan's Guild too soon!"
