Chapter 567

"Senior Yue Dao, can you come over with me now? I have something I want to talk to you about privately."

Jiu Jing Ziyuan's sudden request made Yue Dao Lin slightly stunned, then she blinked her eyes and did not refuse.

Soon.

The two left the crowd and walked to a quiet corner where they could avoid the eyes of others.

Jiu Jing Ziyuan gazed at the intellectual and elegant Yue Dao Lin before her, was silent for a moment, and finally got straight to the point:

Jiu Jing Ziyuan took a deep breath, her tone even more earnest:
