Jiang Ke came across Qi Jiu while serving breakfast in the kitchen.
Thinking of his identity, he uttered indifferently, "Good morning."
Then, after serving breakfast, he left.
Although he had once intensely desired to kill He Ying and had considered joining forces with Qi Jiu to do so, it was just a thought; betraying his country was something he could not bring himself to do.

Taking Sang Yan away had already shamed and troubled his family; he could absolutely not commit such a wrong.
Qi Jiu sensed his distancing or rather his rejection keenly as he watched his departing figure.
Yet, he was not discouraged.
If Jiang Ke had pledged his allegiance too readily, it would have only drawn his contempt.
