Wang Yiyi's gaze was intense as she asked in a low voice, "You're from the Four Symbols Palace. We have no connection with you, so why did you help us?"
As if expecting the question, Su Wenqin stowed her longbow. She gave a rather flirtatious smile, though it was tinged with a hint of resignation and cunning. "Why must you two be so guarded? The Four Symbols Palace has a small foundation; we can't afford to offend Prince Zhennan's Mansion and the Wang Family simultaneously..."
"Besides, with things as they are, if I hadn't helped you and Sword Traceless had emerged victorious, knowing his temperament, he probably wouldn't have spared me, the one waiting in the wings."
At this, Su Wenqin's tone shifted, becoming more earnest. "In truth, while I did help you both gravely injure a powerful enemy today, I had my own selfish motives..."
"I hope that when you two meet Lord Chu, you can put in a good word for me and clear up our prior misunderstanding."
