Zhao Ritian walked up to Lu Chengwen. "What did you say to my master to make her so angry that she left?"
Lu Chengwen was irritated and somewhat remorseful. Too many things felt like a tangled mess.
"I didn't say anything."
Zhao Ritian grabbed Lu Chengwen by the collar. "You didn't say anything!? Did you say something indecent to my master!? Why else would she be that angry!?"
Lu Chengwen looked at him. "Your master wanted an answer from me. I hesitated a little, and she has strong pride, so she just ran off. What was I supposed to do?"
Zhao Ritian narrowed his eyes. "My master wanted an answer, and you dared not give her one?"
Lu Chengwen looked at him. "I can't give her one."
"You have to, even if you can't!"
Lu Chengwen was almost amused by how angry he was. "You don't know anything, so stop butting in. If it weren't for you..."
"Oh! So now you're blaming me? Let me ask you, do you have designs on my master? I'm warning you, Lu Chengwen. My master is Pure and Untainted, flawless as white jade, untouched by worldly desires. She's a saintess from the nine heavens, untainted by mortal filth..."
Lu Chengwen gave a bitter smile.
Yeah, yeah. She saw a whole wall full of tally marks and even wanted to break Zhang Shen'er's record.
Long Aotian walked over. "Cheng Wen, you can't seriously be trying to hook up with Ritian's master too, can you? That would be a total mess in the martial world! But don't worry, Ritian, let me work it out for you. If Lu Chengwen gets together with your master, then Lu Chengwen becomes your elder. And I'm Lu Chengwen's big brother, so by that logic, you'd have to call me Granduncle."
