Eastern King faintly shook his head, "You do not understand Queen Mother of the West. She doesn't want to sever ties with me but to protect me, to avoid involving me in her troubles, which is why she said those words just now."
Lady of Mount Li was somewhat taken aback.

Her expression was doubtful, her gaze fixed on Eastern King with suspicion.
"Queen Mother of the West is actually a very intelligent person," Eastern King said with a light tone. "Unfortunately, precisely because of that, she now finds herself in a difficult position. She has probably realized that what she's done is wrong, but it's hard for her to turn back."
Eastern King spoke calmly.
"Why do you say that?"
Lady of Mount Li asked.
