Meng Rouyan's expression softened, and she offered a gentle smile. "I simply wish to make a friend," she said, her voice sincere. "And perhaps, we can share information. My Meng Clan is desperate to atone for our past inaction, and any clue about the White Tiger God would be invaluable."
She paused, her eyes pleading. "I would also like to invite you to our clan's residence. We can discuss this further in a more comfortable setting."
Yun Lintian's gaze remained steady. He had no intention of visiting the Meng Clan. "I appreciate the offer, but I prefer to travel alone. I will share any information I find, but I cannot promise anything."
Meng Rouyan's smile faltered slightly, but she quickly recovered. "I understand. But please, if you change your mind, you are always welcome."
Yun Lintian nodded, then turned and walked away.
