"Xia Ye! Xia Ye! Why are you walking so fast?" Ying Li had chased me all the way from the Cosmic Heaven Hall and grabbed me.
I turned around and smiled. "Your legs are short, so you blame me for walking fast?"
"My legs aren't short, okay!?" Ying Li hurriedly defended herself, then said, "You did that on purpose, didn't you?"
"Kind of."
"Why? I haven't offended you!"
"You little brat, you keep making a racket and calling me by my name. You haven't offended me?" I pretended to be displeased.
Only after I pointed it out did Ying Li realize. "But I call the other Star Rulers that too. There's no distinction in seniority!"
"Oh! So is that why you deliberately kept me at arm's length?"
"More or less."
"Then... then what should I call you?"
"I look quite a bit older than you. At the very least, add 'brother' after my name, right?" I laughed inwardly. This little girl was far too easy to fool.
Actually, I didn't really want to get involved with her. For one thing, she was too young, and becoming entangled with her in karma would only harm her. For another, ever since I came out of the Phosphorescent Constellation these past two days, my whole body had felt uncomfortable. I could only feel that someone had been watching me the entire time.
That wasn't anything strange, though. Even if Great Luotian possessed extremely high cultivation and could deduce what someone thousands of miles away was doing, after I refined the growth resources from Juhuo, if I couldn't even sense being schemed against, all that effort would have been wasted.
"Uh..." After hearing that, Ying Li immediately became a little embarrassed. When she saw me about to turn and leave, she anxiously grabbed me.
