"Mm-hmm, a certain someone..."
The Medicine Emperor's words, spoken in a moment of relaxation, also made Yao Wan unconsciously take a bit of interest.
This was not the first time she had heard the Progenitor refer to an old acquaintance of the Pill God Clan like this.
It even made it somewhat hard for her to hide her curiosity.
Though she was not exactly clear on what the Progenitor's social circle had been like back then, someone she mentioned in such a way was unlikely to have been an ordinary relationship.
But when the Progenitor had explained it before, she had not seemed to be lying, so why was that?
