"That makes sense. I heard Fu Yan from Yujing went to help. How is he? Is he strong?" Bai? raised her head and looked at Luo Yan.
Luo Yan nodded. "He's indeed very strong. He must have trained hard these past two years."
Bai? suddenly puffed out her cheeks, turned her head, and muttered softly, "I'm pretty strong too, you know."
"I just took down several high-rankers on the battlefield, but Luo Yan didn't praise me at all. He only praises other people!"
"So annoying. If I'd known, I would've gone to help fight the Overlord."
"Or I could beat Fu Yan up. Wouldn't that prove I'm more useful than him?"
Bai?'s eyes lit up. She felt that she really was a little genius!
"Next time, keep thoughts like that in your head. Otherwise, everyone will hear them."
Luo Yan coughed lightly, then patted Bai?'s head. "Also, you're very strong."
"I think you have tremendous potential. Given enough time, if I didn't cultivate desperately, you might even surpass me."
Bai? first jumped like a cat caught stealing food. Then she covered her mouth with her hands, turned around, and looked at Luo Yan with sparkling eyes.
"Really?"
"You really think I have a lot of potential?"
Luo Yan smiled. "Of course I do. Why would I lie to you? I've never lied to you."
I've never lied to you!
That was the only sentence left in Bai?'s mind.
"This..."
"Isn't that what the male lead says to the female lead in idol dramas?"
"Why did Luo Yan say that?"
"Is he trying to hint at something?"
"How strange. Why am I so nervous?"
"My heart is beating so fast."
"What happens next? What happens next..."
"Wait, did I say that out loud again?"
It was as if steam were spouting
