"Cooperate? In what way?" Xu Longyun sat back down, her expression suddenly turning cold and distant.
"Naturally, to save the common people from their dire plight," Lin Bai replied.
"And what have the common people to do with me?" Xu Longyun raised an eyebrow and sneered. "I am merely a minor City Lord. Saving the world is the business of the monarch."
"..." Lin Bai said, "City Lord, you sheltered the Descended in your City Lord's Mansion as Hidden Guards..."
"They came to me of their own accord," Xu Longyun retorted.
"You ordered Zhou Jiang to assassinate me to probe my identity and the Heavenly Dao's response..." Lin Bai frowned slightly.
"I only asked Zhou Jiang to invite you for a discussion. His assassination attempt was his own idea. What has it to do with me?" Xu Longyun interrupted Lin Bai, sneering, "Even if he was injured by you, he brought it upon himself."
Impressive.
She'd managed to shirk all responsibility so cleanly!
