"Wasn't it just a matter of talking things through? I was only curious about what the outcome would be." I smiled, then turned to Ye Guxuan and said, "Guxuan, you've always been straightforward. You go first?"
"Mm. That Divine Lord is called Qiu Feng. He came over to me when I first opened the immortal realm. There's nothing questionable about his background; he's clearly explained which interface he came from. Usually, he helps me make plans. Although I noticed that he intentionally drew close to me, he didn't seem to have any particularly strong ulterior motive. He'd occasionally tell a joke, too, but I never took it seriously." Ye Guxuan furrowed her brows and sank into thought.
"What about exchanging gifts? That should count, right? Like how a husband might give us things to express his affection." Zhu Daohe asked.
Only you would know how to stir things up.
Ye Guxuan immediately said, "I've given him some rewards too, but they were all necessary. He's given me some rare treasures, but I think those were merely the friendship of gentlemen, since we both gave equivalent compensation. As for emotional exchanges..."
"What about physical contact? Did you ever hold hands or say anything ambiguous and sweet?" That blockhead Zhu Daohe asked for me outright, and every question was incredibly silly.
"I don't think so. As for physical contact, I don't know whether the unavoidable brushes during battle count. In private, there was no possibility of anything at all. Whenever we talked, it was always about official matters." Ye Guxuan seemed genuinely not to be hiding anything.
"Then it sounds like there really isn't a problem." Zhu Daohe muttered to me. When I made no reply, she turned to Jiang Ruoyin and asked, "Sister Ruoyin, it's your turn, right?"
Jiang Ruoyin nodded.
