Elsewhere.
An Qingying returned once more to that pavilion courtyard.
She glanced at Zhuge Jieyu, then said, "Well? Did you clear up the doubts in your heart?"
Zhuge Jieyu shook her head. "This person is more cautious than I imagined."
"But my opinion still hasn't changed. He is indeed someone I can't see through."
Even Zhuge Jieyu couldn't see through him?
A flicker passed through An Qingying's eyes despite herself.
No one here understood Zhuge Jieyu's identity and abilities better than she did.
If even she couldn't see through Chen Wen, then An Qingying understood all too clearly what that meant.
"By the way, did you learn anything about him from the elders of your clan?"
"Judging by your Ancestor's attitude toward him, they should be old acquaintances."
Zhuge Jieyu couldn't help asking.
An Qingying shook her head and said, "They told me to ask him myself."
Ask him herself?
Zhuge Jieyu's brows drew together slightly before she said, "Don't you think there's something hidden in those words? Is there any possibility that you two know each other?"
"Let me put it this way. That person's appearance is disguised."
This...
An Qingying's pupils shrank despite herself.
Someone I know.
His appearance is disguised?
For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through her mind.
Seeing An Qingying's reaction, a glint could not help passing through Zhuge Jieyu's eyes.
At this moment, she had some guesses of her own as well.
Only after An Qingying came back to herself did Zhuge Jieyu ask, "Do you have anyone in mind?"
An Qingying shook her head with a bitter smile. "I thought of many possibilities, but none of them fit."
Zhuge Jieyu looked at An Qingying, then said, "Perhaps I'm overthinking it."
"I'll look into it again. If there's any result, I'll let you know."
