"You be careful, that Ninth Tier opponent might be too strong for you. Bringing Xi Yang along, you're bound to have some difficulty. If you're not careful, Xi Yang could die."
"If he dies, he dies. If I'm not capable of taking him away alive, then it must be his time, no one can change that." Xia Shuang was unconcerned; if it was meant to be, no one could stop a natural death.
"Then what will you tell your Little Uncle Master when you see him next?"
"That's a problem..."
Xia Shuang furrowed her brows, feeling a bit of a headache. She couldn't very well say that she went to rescue Xi Yang but accidentally failed, and he died.
Given their family's style, whether it was an intentional failure or a genuine one was questionable.
If her Little Uncle Master thought she did it on purpose, how would she ever persuade anyone to come back in the future?
They already resisted quite a bit, and it would only get worse in the future.
