Facing Ming Lan's persistent questioning, Lin Chen pondered for a few seconds before revealing his true inner thoughts.
"I feel some sympathy for the group of Flower Maidens, but Flower Maidens are not all the same. Some may have already given up yearning for freedom, content to work here in exchange for cultivation resources. After all, for them, there's no risk and life is comfortable," he said.
"Guan Xia is a bit different, she still harbors a longing for freedom and hopes to take control of her own life. I sympathize with her and admire her a lot, so I came to inquire. If it's within my power, I hope to take her away and give her freedom."
"I am not attracted by Guan Xia's beauty, nor do I really want her to serve as my handmaid for a lifetime. Once she leaves Gathering Immortal Island, she will be free to go wherever she pleases. I won't place any restraints on her."
