Bai Yu's expression softened slightly, and she gazed at her without blinking.
Si Yao smiled and continued, "If one day your script receives thunderous applause, even if everyone in the world doubts you, please don't doubt yourself. You deserve it, Bai Yu. You are truly talented."
Si Yao's voice was resolute, carrying a gentle strength so deep it threatened to overwhelm Bai Yu.

Just then, a sudden blast of horns rang out sharply in the border city. Everyone still stationed within felt their hearts tighten. The city defense horn—an alarm that sounded only when the city faced an attack.
"Young master, rest assured. Even if we die, we will not reveal a single secret!" the crowd declared.
Lin Chen had given them a compelling reason for this loyalty: unlike ordinary Spirit Gathering Pills and Spirit Enhancing Pills, these new elixirs could greatly boost one's strength in a short time, without any side effects—except that they had to obey the commands of the one whose blood stained them.
