Why is it that, after cleaning up Bai Yaxin and enriching your own wings, it becomes a dead end?

Manranyama Canglian couldn't figure it out all at once.

She tried hard to restrain herself and not let her doubts show on her face.

Could it be that Tang Mingtuo was just trying to scare her?

But obviously, Tang Mingtuo was not playing tricks.

There was no hesitation or doubt in his sharp gaze.

Tang Mingtuo wasn't trying to scare her.

He had no reason or motivation to do so.

If he says so, then it must be true.

Inwardly flustered, Manranyama Canglian forced herself to maintain a calm appearance and steady her footing. She knew she couldn't lose face here, at least in terms of momentum.

Otherwise, she would be at the mercy of Tang Mingtuo next.

And she firmly believed that this was the purpose of Tang Mingtuo showing up here tonight.

"Mr. Mingtuo, I don't think it would be a dead end as you said."

Manranyama Canglian forcefully retorted.

Upon hearing these words, Tang Mingtuo was momentarily taken aback.

He had originally thought that someone as clever as Manranyama Canglian would have already figured all this out and be troubled by what to do.

And his appearance would provide a timely solution to the troubled Manranyama Canglian.

But now, it seemed that Manranyama Canglian hadn't quite figured it out yet.

Tang Mingtuo helplessly revealed a bitter smile, as if he had heard a worthless question.

"The power of Bai Yaxin, fundamentally speaking, split from the Manranyama family. If you were to use it for yourself, do you think Manranyama Uminari would turn a blind eye?"

"On the other hand, Yan Laoshi and Manranyama Uminari also have a good relationship, so they would help him deal with you instead of forming a cooperative relationship with you."

Just two simple sentences made Manranyama Canglian suddenly see the light.

And Tang Mingtuo's words stabbed into Manranyama Canglian's heart like knives.

Every word made sense.

It wasn't a threat.

But she was Manranyama Canglian.

She couldn't show weakness here.

She had to struggle a little.

"After leaving the Manranyama family, I have been surviving in difficult circumstances. I was able to survive before when I was weak, and now that I have become stronger, I can survive even better."

She thought she was arguing based on reason.

But as soon as Manranyama Canglian finished saying this, Tang Mingtuo helplessly rubbed his forehead.

"No one cares about you, so of course you can survive."

"Just think back, since you left the Manranyama family until now, has anyone really troubled you? Was it Manranyama Uminari or Yan Laoshi?"

"Don't see your current life as too difficult, Miss Manranyama. You are free now."

These words rendered Manranyama Canglian speechless.

Indeed, it was true.

No one, no force, has ever caused her any trouble.

These days, she can be said to be living carefree.

Manranyama Souren, who had been forcefully arguing, finally fell silent.

She couldn't even come up with a retort.

Her brain was spinning rapidly.

But she couldn't come up with a useful idea.

Then, she understood.

This is why Tang Mingtuo appeared here tonight.

Tang Mingtuo wants her, Manranyama Souren, to understand that she has no way out.

And then accept his, Tang Mingtuo's, proposal.

Should she ask him for advice?

As the daughter of the Manranyama family, it was difficult for her to bring it up.

"No need to force it."

Seeing through Manranyama Souren's mental activities, Tang Mingtuo spoke up on his own.

"I know you can't ask for my help, so let me take the initiative."

Tang Mingtuo put away the almost imperceptible smile on his face and became serious and indifferent.

"After getting rid of Bai Yaxin, Miss Manranyama, you will belong under my command..."

"That is your only way to survive, Yui."
