Hearing his words, Feng Tianlan hurriedly nodded. “That’s good.”

Seeing her relieved expression, the State Preceptor’s face darkened. Did she find him lacking? Why did she look so terrified at the notion of him falling for her?

It must be because she knew herself not worthy of him, that was why she had such an expression.

“So what do you think of my request?”

Feng Tianlan thought for a moment, then said seriously, “Caring about someone is not as simple as just agreeing to care, because care needs to be reciprocated.”

“Huh?” He looked at her in confusion, seeming not to understand what she had said.

“You care for someone because you like him. This kind of like can be between a man and a woman, between friends, and family. It involves feelings, so I think it’s quite difficult for me to care about you.”

After all, they were not in a relationship, neither were they friends nor family. They were able to stand there and chat amicably right now was simply because there was no animosity between them.

Also, it was quite tough to develop a friendship with the State Preceptor because he was sometimes nice, sometimes not. They would not be able to become good friends. It would not be an easy feat to care about him.

“Then, do you agree or agree?” Understanding her explanation, he asked in a leisurely manner, purposely leaving her with no option to disagree.

For Mobai’s and Sheng’er’s sakes, Feng Tianlan nodded dully. “Yes, I will do my best. But there is a prerequisite, you cannot hurt the people whom I care about.”

Otherwise, she would never let him off, let alone care about him.
